E6300 + system advice?

[SGCWill]

Hi all, Got my 6300 Core2Duo and first impressions are wow, even compared to the 2.8ghz X2 i had!

From a super pi 1m of 29.087 on the 4400+ X2 @ 2.8ghz to 21.988 on the 1.9ghz c2d, and its still overclocking - stable at 2.4ghz and showing no sign of topping out as yet! Though my MSI 975X PowerUP has a bad habit of turning itself off once i save the bios settings and then not turning on until i switch it on and off round the back of the psu! Also my CellShock C5 stuff seems to be great as well, so i can recommend it for value.

Slight problem though, in windows xp prof sp2 it randomly loads to 100% on core 0 and doesnt stop for a good while and windows task man says nothing is using any core with the exception of System Idle Processes. You might wonder why I'm not using X64 which i bought, and thats because some unkown reason it doesnt run any of my WLAN cards, wether i get the rt2500 drivers or the one included in the driver.cab

Rig:
Intel C2D E6300 @ 2.4GHz (and climbing)
Cellshock 1000MHz @ 1.9v, 5-5-5-15
MSI 975x PowerUP
Watercooled w/80mm Rad
Coolermaster Wavemaster
1x 74GB Raptor, 1x 320GB Caviar, 2x 160GB Caviar
700W Jeantech Storm
XFX 8800GTX 768mb

Any comments,advice,cliqués,criticism would be appreciated!

I'm in work atm, so when I go home, I'll post screenies -its using the 1.5xsmod?

Yeah, at 2.97ghz on the Athlon 64 i got 29.081 and on the 1.86ghz C2D i got anywhere between 24 and 20 seconds, depending on wether i had other programs running. I got 24s running on both cores, with azureus, winamp playing, mplayerc paused and msn.

Although i got 980 cpu in 3dm06 first time and i ran it again and got 1800~

Apparently MSI boards are awesome compared to others - I heard some people have troubles even getting them to run, but my highest clocks came from a s478 MSI board, a S939 MSI board and seeing as i've only had one lga775, i will assume that there is no other competition for it. Then again, i havent tried every possible processor mobo chipset and mfg.

I seen a review on a site saying it was best for lga775 as far as non sli goes?
