What do you mean you won't get any speed? Also, what are the specs of the other components on the computer?
There has been a topic here before about troubles that we had with that MB (me included), getting 4GB of that memory to run at stock speed, but so far people with 3GB seemed to be fine overclocking the memory.

Yup, you're running everything at stock speed there. The only thing is that in your first post you said that you had 3GB of memory, in these pics only 2GB are shown. Did you take out a stick? If not you might want to check that it's inserted right and recognized by the system.

ok thanx.... yepp took one out....
it´s just that the system feels like unstable... hmmm... feel so slow....
i´m doing G-raid config, is that good or should i prefer intels raid och should i drop raid and go non?!

My old Msi system with 1gb 533 mems felt faster....

graphiccard is xfx 8800 gts 320mb...

So it should "feel" faster......

Is the any post/site that could explain the bios config for me?!?

// Thanx for help.....so far..... :-)

Why G raid?

I think it is slower than intels that could be the problem.

Ya I know install test install test but getting the best perfomance takes time and tweaks after you do the intel raid then if you would re-test 3dmark06. if you don't mind.
