Ok so here goes. I'm fairly new to all this, FYI.
I just built my rig with the following specs:
GA-EP45-ED3P
E5200
OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 1066
Sapphire HD4850
I have been trying to overclock it as much as possible but cannot get a stable system with good settings. Right now these settings are causing the system to not pass the post on the first cold boot but once it tries once, it passes.
I appreciate all input. The goal is to get the system using a 400MHz FSB with the RAM at 1066 MHz matched 1:1.
