*Copied directly from the packages*
Everything else is pretty much reused from my old pc. My psu is a 500W Silencer.
Windows 7 sees my cpu running way below the 2.8GHz I want it (expected it) to run at. And in my BIOS the RAM is also way under clocked.
But these BIOS are very confusing. I change one thing and something else will change along with it.
What I am looking for is some help to get my cpu and RAM running at the rated speeds of 2.8GHz and 1066. Not really an overclock but just getting them up to speed I guess.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to provide as much info as possible.
