I have the same motherboard here, with a 955 PhenomII @3.6GHz, liquid-cooled. It's good to see that it is capable of running 8 gigs RAM, although I'm only using 4Gb (OCZ 1600) at the moment.
Do you have all 4 DIMMs occupied, as in 4 x 2G sticks?
I'm running a 500GbB storage drive - but using a pair of 60GB SSDs for my operating system and games. My 1TB drive serves both myself and my wife via our network.
I went Ati about a hundred years ago (feels like) and I'm sporting a lightly overclocked HD 5870 at the present time. Both FB and RoF run very sweet and I'm hoping that it'll give me a good starting point for Cliffs of Dover.
