Maximus Formula + Q6600 B3 + 2x1gb XMS2 800mhz..... What can I get of this?

[miptzi]

well guys, like the title says, it's my first Asus board.
Used Abit for some time, and the Maximus Bios is , well, enormous.

I'd like some suggestions for a my rig, and besides the title, I have a TT Maxorb,
and I know this cooler is a shame to Thermaltake, it's so weak, but I got it free.....
What could I do?

Bios 903 is the most stable?

So , that's it:

Q6600 B3 (damn!)
Maximus formula
2x1gb XMS2 pc6400, rev5.2, 5-5-5-12, 1.9V
8800GT Alpha XXX
TT Maxorb

As for my cooler, I think he can handle 3.2ghz at max speed.... I guess
I was reading the maximus thread nº2, but I couldn't understand a thing!
If not asking much, acomplete BIOS set, like those in that thread.
