hi i just switch from xp to vista with xp i would be able to get my cpu @3.12 stable now it can only be stable @ 2.8 why

What memory are you using? May need a little bump in voltage as Vista taxes your memory more then XP.

chnaging OS wouldn;t chnage the CPu speed, maybe its the way the OS shows you CPU speed, use CPU-Z

i have 2 adata dual channel and 2 kingston dual channel what should i bump my voltage to.also in my bios the cpu voltage only has option fo 50+ and 100+ the same for the ram

Having 2 different kinds of memory may be part of the problem as they can only go as fast as the slowest set. Double check to see what they are rated for. Not sure what you mean by them going up in 50+ increments. Is that halve a volt or .05v?

Good deal!! @3.2 is a decent OC, that's what I was running my old 5400 BE at.
