Hi guys,

Recently i purchased these components:

MB: Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus
CPU: Core 2 Duo E6550
RAM:2x1GB DDR2 800MHz Geil Ultra
Video: BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC2, 320MB GDDR3
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10, 400GB, SATA 300 MB/s

The problem is that i don't have the knowhow regarding the bios settings (for all of my last computers the settings were on default). This time i want to make it right and i decided to ask you more things about tunning my computer.
I want to be clear with you i do not want overclocking, but i want an stable and performant system.
Now, my firts concern is to upgrade the bios of my mainboard because i see that it truly supports my CPU (FSB 1333) only in the last version of BIOS. Now i have this doubt: after the upgrade should i leave the FSB of the CPU at 1333 or at 800 ? I think that 800 would be the best since my memories are using the same FSB but i need you advice and experience in that.
Second thing: i have seen that some people complained about Geil Ultra in association with my motherboard. How can i tune the latencies of my memory in order to gain the best performance and stability at the same time (maybe someone can explain to me what those timers are)?

Default is fine unless you are looking to overclock.

If everything is working fine why rock the boat.
