    Finally, after many headaches and stress: I bring you....



    How is this?

    Summed up: Found a gap in the mobo from 330-399FSB
    400 was booting, but not stable
    405 was 100% Orthos Prime and Memtest Stable
    405 However would not load Vista
    Found that I could finally have it 100% w/Vista by Disabling APIC in BIOS

    So now I am at all stock voltages and more than happy. I almost went and bought a new mobo and ram. So Happy Now, and I quit my ty serving job 2 days ago(Great Money, but PITA management.)

    Specs in Signature now, and it is the Vista Business 32-bit that was given by the PowerTogether Network Deal (FREE.)

    You are using just one core to achieve that speed? I sure wouldn't.

    To use 2 or more cores you need APIC enabled (same to use HT on P4's).
    Turn it back on.

    HEHE, didn't realize that is what APIC was........was wondering why it was only showing 1 core...Please don't bash the new guy to dual cores.

    APIC got enable now and it is booting up, however it is only showing 1 core while in vista in the task manager. However the Device Manager shows both listed as working hardware. Am I all right now?

    Did you install Windows with APIC disabled?
    Check what your Computer is listed as in device manager (eg. ACPI Multiprocessor PC)

    If you see 2 cores in cpu-z, you are using both of them.
