Hello All!

I am new to the community, and am seeking advice. Although I know computers pretty well, I'm by no means an expert.

I just build up and AMD system using the Biostar A770E3 MB and an Athlon II CPU running at 3.1 GHz. I bought this combo from NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138179) & (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103896). I also bought (2) 4 GB stick of premium Corsair memorty that will support Dual Channel Memory mode (DDR3) up to 1600 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145315).

The manual is very sketchy when it comes to setting up the BIOS with the best memory / CPU configuration for best performance. Although I have the 2 memory sticks in the proper slots for Dual Channel operation, I'm not sure that it is enabled, as I don't see anything relevant to that upon power up.

Can you guys give me some help on how to set this unit up for max performance?

Thanks in advance,
- Butch

Firstly look this up and see if the RAM that you bought is on the list or not:

This is the RAM that I bought. CMX8GX3M2A1333C9. It's not listed on the chart, but then again, I don't see any 4 GB modules listed.
