New setup problems.

[Mikal448]

Hey.

I just completed building a new machine, consisting of the following.
AMD 64 3400+
512 3200 DDR RAM
Geforce 6800 GT
Antec 480Watt power supply
On a 8kDA Epox motherboard.

Now I myself am not a computer expert, and i have a few friends who are more knowledgable than myself. I know enough to build a computer and get it running.

After some problems with a faulty stick of RAM we got the machine running, but i am still seeing some problems in so far as processing speed and graphical speed. I do have all of the proper drivers installed, and thought i would ask if anyone had any general troubleshooting ideas for me. Any suggestion would be appreciated as i'm ready for this machine to work properly already!

Did you make sure the clock speed of your processor is correct? Right click on my computer and hit properties. It should show you the processor speed there. I think for a 3400+, that should be around 2.3 or 2.4GHz.

Yes, the processor is supposedly running at it's proper speed. It's supposedly running at 2.2 GHZ
