Ah, now I can see your problem clearly. I don't know if you're new to AMD platforms but you are surely running your DRAM Frequency far too low to get maximum performance out of your system. You don't have to worry about the ram timings as much as on other platforms because of the memory controller being integrated instead being external.
Anyway crank your DRAM Frequency up to 400Mhz...better yet...
1. Enter your BIOS by hitting the DELETE key when starting the system (literally hit the pwr button and then start hiting delete until you're in)
2. Enter the CELL menu and using the arrow keys (mouse will not work) press down until you're at the FSB/DRAM Ratio (I believe it's listed that way). Either way look for the numbers 1:1 and what you want to change is that.
3. Since you're on 800Mhz ram change your ratio from 1:1 to 1:2 by hitting the +/- keys until you get what you need.
4. You will notice that your DRAM Frequency has now changed to 800 in the BIOS.
5. Go into the DRAM Timing screen (literally right above the ratio you just changed)
6. You will see an option that has the number 1T right next to it. You want this to be 2T in order to run the ram at that speed.
7. If you see the option for Dual Channel mode/Ganged/Unganged mode then make sure that it says ENABLED for dual channel option and DISABLED for Unganged mode.
If not then your board will force Dual Channel (ganged mode) OFF that you will have slower ram. Since you're running 4 sticks of memory all of the exact same make and model you don't have to worry about what slots to put them into. BUT just so you know your board does have colors Orange and Green but they DO NOT mean anything at all. The first ram slot is closest to the processor and the second is next to it, so on and so forth. If you had two different types of ram then you'd put 2 MATCHING sticks in the first two slots near the processor and two in the other two slots farthest away. If you only had 2 Gigs then put them in the slots closest to the processor only.
This will show as 400 in CPUZ and the ratio will now be 1:2 instead of 1:1. That was step one to getting your real performance. I now know that your running an Bus speed (aka FSB) of 200 which means that you haven't overclocked your Phenom and the equation is 11.5*200=2300Mhz processor speed. Leave that the same cuz it's fine and it's dangerous to change if you're not well versed in overclocking a processor. This is a VERY different type of processor so doing the samething as you would do to another processor WILL NOT give you the same results so don't bother. It takes real work to overclock this processor and that can be discouraging not to mention you can blow it up really quick if you mess up...so don't.
If your machine does not start up immediately after leaving the BIOS (hit F10 to save and exit then select yes), it's a simple fix. Press the reset button and keep hitting the delete key and after a few seconds it should go through the normal boot process. If that doesn't work it's still easy to fix without having to clear the CMOS using the onboard jumper.
Your board has a built in reset option so you don't have to open the case (most people don't know this). All you have to do is turn the power off for about 5 seconds and then WHILE holding the insert key on your keyboard turn the power on and wait a few seconds.
You'll see a screen pop up with writing in red stating that he previous overclocking failed (or ram speed was set too high) and it has reverted to stock. Press anything except the Delete key and it'll go to setup automatically. If you're using USB then you may need to plug in a PS/2 (old school corded) keyboard to hit any key as the USB drivers aren't loaded yet.
Simple and no fuss or pulled out hair. If it didn't boot then most likely your voltage was just too low since it's prolly on auto (though that would normally on this board be no problem at all as it'll detect it). If it was too low then change your voltage to at least 2.1v and you're good to go.
To do that go back into the CELL menu I mentioned earlier and go all the way to the bottom and you'll see the voltages you can use. Change the MEMORY voltage by using the +/- keys until you reach 2.1. It may start at lower than this (mine does) but 2.1 is to be safe. You can keep trying different voltages until you get the lowest one you can start and run w/o crashing with.
Let me know if you need any other help,

Btw...enjoy your new speed
my knowledge is pretty basic; i looked for vertical synch in CCC but i cant find it. how do i disable it, and will it reduce quality?
