1st of all, I had one of those crappy boards so I speak from experience. It was given to me by someone else who realized it was crap & said it wasn't even worth trying to resell. And after playing around with it for a while, I agreed. Generally speaking, boards based on SiS chipsets suck...there are very few exceptions.

There is no way to adjust the CPU voltage & there's nothing you can do about it....there is no "special" BIOS. There are ways to "wire-mod" the CPU socket to increase the voltage, but I'm sure that's beyond your capabilities. You *should* be safe with the FSB/DRAM/PCI at 112/112/37 but if the PCI goes higher than that, you risk data corruption on your HDD, sound problems, video problems, producing "coasters" (if you have a burner), etc.

You can keep creating new CN usernames & continue asking the same question(s), but you're gonna get the same answers. If you're not happy with your system's performance, you have 3 choices:

1. upgrade your board/CPU/RAM
2. downgrade the OS to Win98SE or WinME
3. keep it as-is & live with it.

Amen to that

As previously mentioned, your expectations are unrealistic

"please don't tell me stuff i already know"

There's the faint hope that by dint of repetition, some glimmer of understanding may be induced

I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter.

I've just got my hands on this mobo, and what i can say... it is crap, but there's a way to modd it luckily, but involves some basic knowledge of soldering and playing with the v-reg's.
