Ok so I just finished my new machine and I need a little help making sure my bios is setup properly, Typically what I do is just set everything to auto and forget about it. I ran Sandra to see if i needed to make any changes to make sure it was performing at its optimum performance (without over clocking) and i got some warnings, Mainly for the FSB speed, the computer shows it running at 1066 but i believe its so posed to match DDR which is 800 (sandra said it needed to be lowered). I'll post exactly what it found when i get home later today (at work and forgot the file) but Here's my specs:

2.4ghz Core2 Quad Q6600 1066mhz

ASUS P5K-E LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard

2 x1024gig kingston ddr2 800mhz hyper x

2x 500gig Western Digital Sata 7200 hard drives

geforce 6600 (waiting for 8800gts to come in the mail)

CoolMaster 550w Power Supply

Any help on the matter would greatly be appreciated, just want this thing to run as best as it can

i would setup the 2 hard drives to a raid 0 array

does your bios have the memory timing unlocked?

Maybe i would if someone did a better job of labeling where questions needed to go, I guess I could of put it in the general tech forum but considering all the questions posted in that section seem to be car related, and a search showed a lot of questions about computers were placed in this section, i chose this section. But I'll post it in that section to make you happy.


As for Raid, I have them set to 0 currently, I plan to add another 2 500 gigs hopefully by this weekend.

It's set to what ever the default is in the bios, so I'm guessing its Locked
