Ok so I built my first PC containing of these parts:

-Antec Solo Black/Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
-ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
-eVGA Nvidia 8800GS
-CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V V2.2 Power Supply
-Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450
-G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop

Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
-Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500AAKS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
-SAMSUNG 22X DVD Burner Black SATA Model SH-S223F

I won't lie, it's pretty freakin' sweet.

But this is my first time building a computer and so tweaking it to max performance is something I want to learn.

First off, the RAM runs at 800mhz. I believe this is pretty standard, it requires some altering of the BIOS to make it run at 1066mhz. I have no idea on how to do this. Any info would be great (detailed as possible).

Second, when my computer starts it has the messages

Adapter 1:
Disk Information
No Hard Disk Detected.

What do I need to do to fix this if it is a problem.

Thanks for your help!

this guy has posted the same 3 questions on loads of forums (he's been banned on most of them) with spam links in his sig .

They're starting to get easier to spot... the PC specs are different from his other thread, and they're clearly copy/pasted from a shop.

He's put in a load of buzz words to make it look legit, but when you think about it, who the hell spends that much on a PC and gets a GS graphics card...
And then his water cooling thread, I did a double take and realised he reckoned he had a Zalman Reserator, and a separate 3rd party radiator.

Surely the response they get can't be worth the hassle of making that post...
