I'm a old member here but I just lost interest in talking about computers.

I got a neo mobo and amd 64 3200 cpu 512 cache. I'd like to know if you have to do something to the bios? Is there bios settings that will make it faster? On my other mobo you had to do some things like setup the cpu speed but My speed on system properties is 2.21 is that right?
I'm running doom 3 at 800X600 on high with no lag at all.

This is my new setup.

MSI K8N Neo Platinum ED nForce 3 250Gb
AMD 64 3200+ Thermaltake Silent Boost on it
Samsung PC3200 two sticks of 512MB
GeForce FX5800 ASUS V9900/TD
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Artec DVD 16X from old setup
Lite-On CDRW 52X32X52 from old setup
western digital Caviar SE 80GB IDE from old setup
Antec True 550W PS from old setup

This is what I'm thinking of geting later.

Crucial Ballistix PC4000 two sticks of 512MB
Chaintech, ASUS, Albatron, or BFG FX 5950 Ultra
WD Caviar SE Two 80GB Serial ATA Raided

what the heck is a Geforce FX9800? and why are you getting a fx5950, those suck, get the new generation of cards. and yes 2.2ghz is the stock speed of the 64 3200+ which is plenty of speed, but anyways there should be some kind of overclocking options in the bios. there should be some option to raise the FSB, but i think its called somehting else in 64's

It's a type o. I have a FX5800 and I'm not sure but the GeForce 6800 GT is 50MHz Core less than my v.card but the Memory 200MHz more and my 128MB vs. 256MB DDR3 SDRAM, and I think the features can make the card a lot better. Hmm I think the GeForce 6800 GT would do better than 5950 Ultra. The 6800 Ultra is too high. So I think my next v.card will be a GeForce 6800 GT. Thanks
