Nohr, it already is outside of the case and resting on the anti static bag. The 4 major components are installed and power switch and speaker are placed in.

Thanks for the tip Jim, I started the K6speed program and it works sort of well. It lowered my Sandra Memory bandwidth scores to 170 levels, lowered the READ in Everest, however it Raised the Write to 106 and the latency to 240. The program is useful I must profess, it makes the system more well rou...

Alright, placed the FSB back to 100. The setup is identical to others. Everest: Read: 374 Write: 97 Latency: 238.5 Sandra 2004 CPU: 1149/653 MEM: 203/201 Seeing as how I cant find the 2001 version to download anywhere, I suppose this is all I can accomplish.

Kachi, you are correct, seems what you have said is quite right. Edit: I inadvertantly posted an incorrect serial number concerning the chip. http://www.micron.com/products/dram/sdram/part.aspx?part=MT48LC64M4A2TG-75 Now this should be the correct chips. These are the chips on the Memory module, 256...
