What's your memory assessment speed?

ZaLiTH are you going to unlock the 4th core? did it with my 555 no problem. Maybe im lucky. Did prime95 for 24 hours no errors and it only got to 52 degrees. Good luck if you try it.

I doubt it hey, the main reason I'm going for a tri-core is because my board doesn't have very good support for the higher-spec CPUs.. I can only run AMD CPUs of 125w or lower, and even the 125w processors are not recommended by XFX. Seeing as many of the Phenom II x4 CPUs are 125w to 140w, I want to try avoiding putting too much strain on my board.

Besides, a 720BE will give me 3 cores at 2.8GHz with an unlocked multiplier, which means my CPU will be way better than my current 5400+ and I can finally unleash the full potential of my Corsair RAM. I know these babies can do so much more than 8600MB/s...

This rigs about Four years old and I replaced my old 120gig HD and my 7800gt Vid card with this setup now
AMD64 athlon X2 5200+, evga9800gt, 2 Samsung 500gighd, soundblaster X-FI Xtream auido, mobo M2N sli-delux and 4 Corsair 1gig ddr2 800 sticks of ram

There is something seriously wrong with my memory speed right?

My 6GB OCZ Platinum DDR3 @ 1600Mhz 7/7/7/24 T1:

Heres mine.
Kingston 1333MHz DDR3@ 1466MHz
6GB's, $100 US

Resmon tells me that only 2 gig out of the 16 on board are being used.

Try as I might, I cannot get the system to use more than 3 gig of RAM

It's better, but I'm still not happy with it. And I'm really baffled by the seeming 3 or 4 gig limit on RAM.

Unsure which exactly options you do have on your Tyan BIOS, but I strongly believe you should have somewhere an option to map memory past 3Gb.

Double check on your motherboard manual if you do have such option. I have used a couple dual and quad opterons in the past and some of them had all the way up to 64Gb RAM fully visible to the system.
