i have a q6600 oc'd to 3ghz, (fsb = 333) my ram is set to 1066 (2x 1gb corsair xms 1066). The question i have is what should i do about my video card? the pci express bus speed is default set to auto, and (spd) says don't set above 100mhz. I changed it from auto to 100mhz manual. I have an evga 8800gtx, can this card be pushed at all? Is 100mhz the proper pci-e setting for this card? thanks.
 
Yes. 100 will be fine. The only time I bump it up higher than 101 is during benching. Then I take it up to 119. After that SATA HDDs wont be recognized.
