okay i have built my computer finally; asus p5k, e2180, 2 gig 800mhz (i actually have 2 sticks of 2gig but for some reason i can only use one stick otherwise it doesnt boot if anyone knows why this is and how to get around it i would love to know) and 8800gt, i am basically wondering what i need to do to get the best performance from it so far i have downloaded the latest nvidia drivers. what else can i do?? i am running xp 64bit.

and please if anyone can help with the ram situation i would be seriously grateful

A Faulty stick?

okay i have just tried overclocking my cpu a bit, first time so didnt really know what i was doing lol, i load up cpu-z and it says core speed: 2400 and multiplier 10, then it randomly changes to 1441 and multiplier 6 what does that mean? it just keeps changing every 5-10 secs

It could be a ram/mobo incompatiability.

The speed keeps changing because you have Speedstep enabled in the bios. It drops the multiplier when the cpu is not under load.

is that a good thing? i want that enabled, right?

no its this ram: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-086-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813
and when i put both sticks in it won't boot. That AUX thing in speedfan is worrying me, its says its 127c that cant be right surely
