Hey all. Just finally got my system to post after moving my ram around and this is my first built computer. I'm kinda trying to figure out exactly what I need to do next to get it set up. I noticed that it recognized all my ram on the post, but read the cpu as 1100mhz, its a barton 2500+. should be around 1830mhz. I went into bios and it shows 2500+ in there and 166x11 so I dunno what the deal is. Any suggestions or just stuff you've figured out from experience? I've never used bios before, I was just looking around when I went in before.
I still don't have my case, but I should be ok if I go ahead and get windows and such installed now that way when I get my case next week I'll be able to get ready and do some overclocking, its usually pretty cool in my house too, so I don't think heat will be a problem, seeing as everythings totally out in the open on my desk here.
The main thing I wanna know if there are some things that I need to go ahead and get set in BIOS before I get going on loading the OS. I was taking a peak in there and most of it seemed to be reasonable. Well I'm gonna goto bed now so I'll check back with ya'll tomorrow. Good things. Laters
