Hey again guys.
While I agree with almost everything that you've said spyknee, the one thing I disagree with is 'Get a bigger PSU' - I put a lot of research into getting my current PSU, and it works above and beyond its specs. Corsair ftw. I don't particularly want to spend money where it isn't needed.
My temps are similar to when I was running XP.
Stew, I think if I was more experienced in tweaking and OC'ing I would definately try to follow your advice, unfortunately I dont think i'd be able to pull it off. I've actually tried running the two cl5 sticks and they still suffered from the same problem i've been having.
According to this site: ASUS P5B Motherboard Review | Hardware Secrets - my motherboard unoffically supports 1066mhz DDR2, if you overclock it manually - obviously that brings me to the same problem. One of the kits I linked was 800 mhz, but to be honest i'm not sure if I should go for it now.
What cooling would you recommend? I have a http://www.scythe-eu.com/en/products...pu-cooler.html at the moment, which I thought was a decent cooler. I also have an OCz RAM cooler.
