3) If you're running x64 OS and have more than 3GB ram installed but windows is only reporting around 3GB, Go into your bios and enable Memory remapping.

Evercool Twinkling should do the trick, soid copper a bit flashy due to leds but i guess u could always get rid of em, and its very effective, have used it on several motherboards now, and only 8$
