Such an awesome website for building a computer. Very detailed!! thumbs up.:)

I installed a
Asus M2N32-sli deluxe wireless
AMD Athlon 64x2 6400
ocz gamextream 700w
antex 900
Evga nvidia 8800gts
Zalman CNPS9500 Cpu Fan
Sony dvd +/- r rw
windows xp
Samsung 245bw monitor

I have everything up and running drivers installed. I ran the 3DMark2006 and the pcmark05 tests but ranked very low.

3DMark06 5810

the only thing i did in the Bios was partition the harddrives they are raid 0 (mirror).

Should I have adjusted any in the Bios. Also how would i go about over clocking w/ this mother board and processor.

Congrats on the new rig!

Which 8800 do you have? 320 or 640? What about memory?

Two things:

1) If you are running one stick of memory, I think your going to have much better results with two. The smart people can explain why :o.

2) On the overclock question, you might want to do a little looking around. The site below was a recommendation from the Wise Monkey, and it is quickly becoming one of my go-to sites for answers. They have a nice deep dive on that board of yours... :cool:
