Well I just got my parts in today and I am having stange issues.

Have:
MSI P6N-SLI FI
2GB PC25400 Corsair XMS
E4300 Allendale

The problem I'm having is overclocking it to a desired speed. I can only seem to set it at FSB 1333 ram 667( fails prime), 1066/667, 800/667. But anything else just won't boot. What could possiblly be the problem?

Is there anybody with good settings with a P6N-SLi and E4300 on stock cooling?
 
So I just left it at 1066FSB and when I play anything related to the gpu it stutters every 5 seconds. Its smooth for a while then all the sudden massive lag, then smooth repeat. The only thing I've installed is graphics drivers (which failed before then I reinstalled), Steam, the new nForce drivers, creative drivers, Avast antivirus, uTorrent, winamp, and Klite codec pack. Other than that its a fresh install of XP Pro.
 
Anybody know why there would be CPU spikes when playing games causing lag when overclocked to 2.4ghz? I just reformatted again and it's still there.

Make sure for starters that you have a 1:1 ratio FSB : DRAM. You can use CPU-Z to make sure. Once you have a 1:1 ratio you can go from there and start raising the FSB a little at a time.
 
Problem solved. CPU HSF wasn't fully on causing massive overheating. Everythings working perfectly now.
