Well this is what I have:

Asus P5w DH Deluxe MB with current BIOS
Intel Core 2 Extreme x6800 @ 2.93GHz
(2) Asus ATI Radeon X1900 Video Cards
Corsair DDR2 (2 x 1GB Units) PC2 5400 Memory
MACS Vigor Monsoon II CPU Cooler
2 x 250 GB Seagate RAID 1 HDD (SATA)

I have it in an NZXT Nemesis Elite Case with a OCZ 700W Power Supply.

I am new to overclocking but have run memtest86 for 24 hours without any errors.

Does anyone know what settings I need to get to like 3.4GHz without crashing my system?

I will be using it for Quake4, UT2004, Doom3, etc.

Does anyone have anything close to my configuration.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Just an update! I just saw that the BIOS reports the memory as PC2-5300!

The memory I have is: Corsair CM2X1024-6400C4

I adjusted the memory setting in the BIOS (4-4-4-12) and it says the same thing.

I just thought I would try that out to see what happens.

Could anyone explain this?

I have no clue.

3DMark06 Score is 6215. There was someone who had a machine just like mine (MB, CPU, Video) and he got like 10K!

Anyone have advice or MB setting that I could use to test?
