Well wasn't sure I should put this here or what but I just got done building my latest build..

EVGA 680i P21 BIOS
EVGA 8800GTX (stock clocks)
E6400 @ 2.13 1.28v(stock)
OCZ Powerstream 520
Ballistix PC10000 5-5-5-12 1.9v (stock)

And I've been having some major/minor Windows lag. Takes a bit for me to boot up and takes a bit to open say Firefox or something..


Any info that would help me kill the lag would be awsome..

Yes, I have the latest BIOS update (P21 BIOS). I overclocked it to 2.8ghz today on stock air and at 1.31v and did the RAM to 900mhz(puts it at 800mhz knowing its PC10000 and did 4-4-4-12 @ 1T 1.9v) and when I started getting around 2.7 ghz or so it started to lag a bit on the stuff I mentioned so I just loaded up defaults then did some minor adjustments and I'm still getting the lag..

Well that might be the problem possibly lol. I've come from being an AMD fanboy/lover for years and just upgraded to the Intel side because the C2Ds looked sexy compared to my AMD X2 4400 Teldeo...

I will mess around in the 1T/2T crap and will post to see if it likes it or not lol.

Thanks.

As Evilsizer mentioned, try 2T. Evilsizer has consistently been a knowledgable poster on this forum forever. I can not get my system to run Windows XP on a 1T setting.
If that is not the issue, what about your hard drive? Is your hard drive new? Unfortunately, all the moving parts in a hard drive wear out in a few years.

My e6600 system runs everything I throw at it quickly.
