I decided that I would give the DS-3 another try, dispite of all the comments people have made about it. I have also bought new RAM (see specs) and returned the PQI RAM due to incompatablilty.
...And it started flawlessly.
Yet I find this rather a good learning experence. It took me quite a while to find out what was going on. And I just get pissed when I know I have installed everything and connections are connected properly and things in general do not work. I threw a fit earlier during my first attempt.
Now I am planning to overclock my CPU for the first time as well until Core 2 is available in quantity. Then I will start the 3dmark benchmarks after the overclock.
