My advice to Mo Fateh, although I want to make it for everyone, is to 
NOT use B3LYP. I am fed up with reading on CCL of people proposing to
use B3LYP. B3LYP is an old method and has been superceded my many 
better methods that are no more computer intensive. Do some research 
to find a better method. I would also point out that you can get, if 
you do make a special effort, different B3LYP results using different 
programs. For example, there are I think 5 different B3LYP methods, 
and Gaussian and GAMESS(US) chose different ones by default.

Just my 5c worht, Brian.
