I got a D, and I have no AA or anything enabled. looks like it's time to upgrade my video card
And overclock your E6550. You could get it to 2.8GHz without a sweat.
When I OC funny shit happens to my system, sometimes when I turn it on, it will stay on for a second, and restart itself a few times before I actually get my POST. And sometimes it says OC'ing failed. I have a pretty good Heatsink and my temps are good, never tried to push it too hard on the OC. I think 2.5 and it starts throwing a bitch at me. My board doesn't exactly have a ton of OC'ing options. MSI Neo something or other p35. I might give it another shot. Maybe I can boost my SF:IV benchmark score up to a C lol.
Bump up your voltage on your processor a little. When it resets it means the OC failed.
I updated my BIOS and it's working like a charm now, set my FSB for 400 and re ran the benchmark program

bumped my rating up to a C, pretty decent FPS jump too. The MSI Dual Core proggy & my system properties are showing 400 FSB and it's switching between 2400MHz and 2800MHz (wtf?) in the Dual Core program, and Windows 7 is reporting 2.33GHz. I don't know if this is a problem with Windows 7, or just something screwy with my system. I didn't see any clock multiplier options in my BIOS. So I'm guessing this CPU is locked. I should probably spend some time to figure out if there's a problem with my system I guess.
*edit* I rebooted and in my BIOS it's showing 400x7 2.80GHz I wonder if Windows 7 is just reporting it wrong. CPU-Z is also showing it as between 2.47 - 2.51 with a x 6 multiplier though. WTF lol. *sigh*
