was setup at stock, 3.0GHz on 1333MHz FSB during all of the installs.

I overclocked once I got it stable and torture tested for 24 hours via prime95 for burn in. (not one error) I did underclock the memory from 1066 to 800 in the end, but that was not a system stability issue, i just wanted the case temp a bit cooler, (besides it seemed more logical to have a 2.0 multiplier on the memory than a 2.6)
