For one thing, it appears your RAM lags way behind your CPU. For another, you have your IDE devices configured wrong...they should be: Primary Mater: ST310232A Primary Slave: 54X CD-ROM Secondary Master: HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4480B Secondary Slave: ST380011A Use 80-wire cables for both channels & primary/slave jumpers...don't use cable select There is no turning back, now that you've woken up the demon in me...
