I found this setting in BIOS never messed with it. So wat dose it mean? its set at auto now:S.

That should be set to 33.33MHz, it is the PCI frequency. If set to auto it fluctuates and can make an overclock unstable.

it has two settins auto , to cpu , 33.33 well why would i set it to 33.33 can u explain i wana learn

.

33.33Mhz is the default frequency for pci. When you overclock you will raise that frequency unless you lock it. When you raise the frequency you run the risk of an unstable computer and performance problems.

Don't overclock your PCI bus. You won't get any performance benefit. Like he said, leave it at 33 mhz.

wonder i need to test this setting lata, but hum my score today is off wonder why.......

 

[kitt3]

u think heat will decrease score in 3dmark ?

highly possible, you should probably run 3dmark ~3 times to make sure your first score wasnt inflated due to everything being very cool to begin with.
