Default Greetings

Hello everyone. I am brand new to this site and overclocking in general. I am hoping to learn a thing or two here and maybe even make some friends. I have tried overclocking a tiny bit. I brought my CPU from 2.0 to 2.4. I had to bring it back down to 2.3 to run games. I just reformatted, cleaned out computer, updated BIOS and attempted to overclock again but this time I have had no luck getting it past 2.1ghz. Figures, now that I bothered to learn and read about what I'm doing I can't do it anymore . Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Sometimes I hear something bzzing just like Taiko....that's a good sign right? :P I think It might have been my memory because I checked RAM on newegg and the voltages for what I believe is my ram are higher than what my ram is currently running at. I am thinking this is because possibly my mobo automatically lowered the voltages to stop the bzzing? Cause I no longer hear them.

CPU: AMD ATHLON X2 3800+ (2.0ghz) L1:64kb L2: 512kb
MOBO: a8n32 SLI Deluxe
RAM: Corsair XMS PRO PC3200 (200Mhz) CMX1024-3200

Is there a place I can post my PC specs so when I post they are displayed? I took a look in profile but I didn't see a good spot. Is there any other PC info I should display also that would be useful in helping assist me?
