I ran CPU-Z & under the memory section it shows all the info & what I am wondering is one box says Performance Mode. Disabled is what it says in the box.
Well the hot rodder in me just can't fathom when something says Performance is disabled!:jdp: Should or CAN I enable it?

I'm not CPU-Z or overclocking friendly, so I can't help you there. :)

So that has to do with overclocking?

CPU-Z is an application used to find out information about your processor (what core, die size, # of transistors, etc) and other specs on your system so you'll know what you'd need to do to overclock it. the information it generates is system specific. normal users don't typically fire it up, i would say 90% of the people who download and install the program have the intent to overclock their system and need the info to figure out how far other people have been able to push their system/processor/ram when using similar configurations as theirs.

i don't know much about it - i think it's just a monitoring tool, not a configuration tool. it is probably showing that box because the chipset on your motherboard supports that feature, but it may not be enabled in BIOS.
