1. The newest Omega drivers.
2. Huh? Do you mean a TIM? AS3 is the best for that. (Some people like ceramique more, but I like AS3)

because there is the first place i looked, it doesnt work.

ok, so far, so good. my fps is now similar to what a good TI would give me, bouncing from 70-200 in endlessages at 1024 (endlessages has to be the hardest game ive found on fps so far), which is a dramatic improvment from the 30-70 i was getting before.

this is on a totally unclocked system (why o/c when it runs good on its own) so im pleased.

thank you all for the help.

still cant figure out where it tells me my fsb speed on my mobo though.
