The GTS 512 is bottlenecked by the CPU. My e6320 @1.86 got 1,700 cpu and 8,500 marks graphics (8800GT @ stock speed). @3.15 (450x7) it gave 2,700 cpu and 11,700 graphics.
Running 3dmark06 in vista x64 is also a performance hit, since that's done in emulation (x86 to x64).
For games, Vista x86+3.25gigs (32bit OS limitation) is faster than Vistax64 +4gigs.

Did you use any fancy "auto-overclock" or speed boosting whatever crap? If you did, dump it. Those fancy overclocking things generally cause more harm than good.

Try over clocking one more time.go to your ram settings, drop the settings so the ram runs at 333 instead of 400. then try over clocking in implements of 5. I have a very similar setup as you with the same cpu, 4 gig of pny value ram vista home premium, 2 wd raptors., and an HD2900XT. i have my proc OC'd to 2508 and can get it to just over 2600 no problem. one note also make sure you change your cpu voltage also. gotta feed its need for power when you OC. i keep my voltage at 1.425 *1.5 if i go to a OC of 2600* . with the system running at 2.5 ghz i consistently get 9200 in 3dmark06 and if i take it to 2.6ghz and OC my vid card to 820 core and 925 ram i can get over 10K in 3dmark06. the system runs stable at these higher settings but i don't want to shorten the life of my cpu TOO much.lol One thing to remember also, don't fret over your ram being at a lower speed when you change it. with AMD's onboard memory controller the speed of it is raised as you raise the clock on your cpu. Hope this helps.

Get the 850W PSU and see what happens. That is one of your issues. That CPU can be clocked WAY higher. Look into OCing it, get a good cooler and fine a guide to OCing your model.

It is overkill but he is better off with that than a 480W

:non: No, there really is no need for 850 watts, I'm running two Alpha Dog GT's on a 620watt.

Yeah 850W is overkill. I'd say 550W from a good quality brand such as Corsair or a 600W+ from a lesser known brand.

I Agree That 850W is overkill but the OP already said it was on order. I wouldn't have suggested 850W, it's just a waste. I would have suggested a good 600W, but since he already ordered the thing, i just said he would be getter off then the 480W. George Burns monkey guy, I'm not stupid. haha
