You should download all the software for your motherboard from the manufacturers website. Everything on the disk will be outdated. CPU overclocking should be done in the BIOS, not with software apps in Windows. You will get a higher score in 3D Mark but for gaming you shouldn't need to overclock and doing so will make very little to no difference at all. 3D Mark sometimes reports wrong values for hardware, I wouldn't worry about the 3GB RAM thing. * +
