Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L _ BFG GeForce 9800 GTX+ OC 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail _ Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 _ Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 SLi Compliant PSU _ GeIL 4GB (4x1GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Black Dragon DDR2 Dual Channel _ Akasa AK-ZEN-01-WH Rev.2 Zen White Case

upped the fsb on the cpu -333mhz from 266mhz left the vcore on auto to see what it came up with, its a 1.212 does that sound about right anyway i went in and manually set it to that after so it didnt jump around and it seems rock solid

i have 160 fps average everything full wack 1280x1024 but no aa on team fortress 2

and 91 fps average everything full wack 1280x1024 no aa on call of duty 4 seam stuck at that doesnt seam to shift up or down on cod4 weird but im happy with it

does all that info sound right? im using 64bit xp at the moment is thats gonna be gonna be on a dual boot with 64bit vista is that the way to go? is 64bit os the way to go? i choose it cuz i know it sees all the ram

anything else i should do any advice or is it all good

thanks guys for all the help b4

After you stability test to make sure that it really is solid, it's time to start working your VCore down. You locked the PCI-e bus frequency, right?

PCI E BUS WHAT?

IM JUST PLAYING GAMES ON IT QUAKE WARS AT THE MOMENT WOW WICKED

OK WHY DO I NEED TO STABILITY TEST? WHAT DO I USE TO DO IT AND WHY DO I NEED TO WORK MY VOLATAGE DOWN?

ID REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IM DOING BUT I DONT

Keep the PCI-E freq at 100

For COD4 type in console /com_maxfps and that should tell you your cap. You can set this to I think 250 max. With that same LCD, and everything on normal, I get constant 200's at 3Ghz on my 8400. I think in overgrown, i dip down to 195's
