Sounds like you are in you're very beginning stages with all of this Chanana but thats OK we've all been there! Best thing I can tell you is Install Windows XP SP2 seeing how you are not a advanced user or skilled with all of this thats a suggestion I cannot recommend enough because that Vista will give you problems with stability testing programs andf they will crash or lock up you're system and you will think its you're overclock and you will reach for the voltages first and formost thinking that will fix it and it wont! Don't Do it!!!! Use VISTA that is....POS it is!!!
