Memory

My CPU has fsb of 1066mhz and my memory is supposed to to run at 1066mhz, but is running at 800mhz. I have noticed some cpu not doing well in futuremark tests and am wondering if it is bebecause the fsb and memory do not match.

Not very well. games are not running smoothly. I am running windows 7 and there isn't a motherboard driver available for me as of now. asus says it will be soon. I did find on my device manager that a coprocessor was running because it did not have a driver. do you thing that is what the problem is?

cpu amd phenom 3.0 quad
motherboard asus mn3-ht deluxe/hdmi
4gb kingston hyper X 1066mhz memory
2x250gb seagate hard drives running raid 0
evga gtx 275 ftw superclocked edition video card

M3N-HT Deluxe/HDMI
sorry typo

nothing available for win7 at this time. what does a coprocessor do and could it cause my games to not run smoothly?

the device manager did not say what the coprocessor was for. 780a sli is the chipset. will it matter that it is not the driver from asus?

I just thought to tell you my cpu's front side bus is 1066mhz and my memory is only running at 800mhz. those new drivers did not work so I thought maybe this has something to do with it.

Everything was working very well until I upgraded from my dual core to the quad core. I was really looking forward to the increase and instead it actually slowed down gaming.

amd dual core 3.0ghz to amd quad core 3.0mhz

they are not running smooth. jerky and slight pauses

I really did not know what I needed, so I just started with the drivers. The first thing I had to do was update the bios. the old cpu ran fine under the original bios. after that I noticed it was not doing better in the 3dmark tests and it was actually doing quite a bit worse. that is when I started trying to figure out what was causing it to run the way the way it is. i thought drivers because the cpu and motherboard were fairly new. then I thought it might be the memory because it was running at 800 and the cpu fsb is 1066. so right now I am really stumped and considering reinstalling windows xp instead of 7 to see it that does any good. any suggestions?

It was supposed to have a big improvement, because of the 3 levels of cache and a faster front side. just a thought, could a power supply have anything to do with it? I have an antec 650w. this cpu does require a lot more power and it does start messing up when i am pushing it.

Just when i start playing a game that is new and requires a powerful pc. I don't overclock very often. just haven't found a need to do it. I have 2 dvd burners, 2 harddrives, many, many fans and the gtx 275

Just checked and it may very well be the psu. it said required watts was 683 running at the 85% which is was the recommended setting

i checked something I should not have and the power is not the problem. this weekend i'll go with winxp and see if win 7 is the problem. If thats not it, i'll start to think there is a prob with the cpu

I just wanted to let you know that it was the cpu not working with the motherboard. for some reason only one core was being used. I put my dual core back in and both cores are working fine. I am assuming there is a bios update needed, so i'll just have to wait for it.
