i maybe also getting an E2220 this weekend, initially wanted to get the E4500, i guess just use the extra $ for getting a better GC maybe a 8800GT instead of 9600GT

one noobie question - is there any difference between getting valueram vs performance ram - if i only wish to overlock to 3Ghz

i just got a E2220, IP35E and 2G Mushkin 800 valueram over the weekend, the stock cooler is really small - can sifus here advise if want to do just mild oc to 3.0GHz - can use the stock cooler?

im still googling around on how to oc this processor mildly - what FSB and multipler - my prev system is a sempron 1.6@2.2, so outdated and a bit lost now.

thx in advance

im curious now, even BIOS at default i.e. non oced E2220@2.4GHz- prime95 failed on the second and third test - third test (blend) failed almost instantly
hope u guys bear with me, really noobie in ocing intel proc.

i did some reading yesterday but still confuse in many things - at default RAM is running 800 - meaning it is on 1:2 ratio right? is 1:1 supposed to be better?

E2220 default is 2.4Ghz, 12x200
ABIT IP35E and Mushkin 2 x 1G DDR800
i wanted to do mild ocing to 3Ghz, maybe 12x250, and not need to increase voltage here and there
what ratio shud i use for the RAM?
can i leave RAM setting at default?

the problem now at default setting also prime95 failed (both tests with memory thingy)

alamak vdroop? no idea

thx in advance

auto recovery? i noticed that my IP35E when it refused to boot (changed bios setting ocing etc), after leave it off for a while, it would boot at default - is this auto recovery?
i dun upgrade my rig as frequent as others so noobie a bit with today's mobo feature
