Title: RAM timings
Post by: nataku on July 31, 2003, 06:03:39 PM

Just got my new system up and running, but I\'m not sure about what to do with the RAM timings.  I\'m using Corsair XMS PC3200C2, 2x 256 MB.  Their website says it\'s rated at 2-3-3-6-T1, whatever that means.  My MB (Abit NF7-S) BIOS, from top to bottom, lists my RAM running at 8-3-3-2.5.

Like this:
Row-active delay: 8
RAS-to-CAS delay: 3
Row-precharge delay: 3
CAS Latency Time: 2.5

Of course, that\'s set at Optimal.  The settings are grayed out so I don\'t think it\'s actually running at that.

What numbers in the 2-3-3-6-T1 corrospond to the settings above?  I\'m such an idiot when it comes to RAM, I don\'t know what to do.  I\'d like to set it to Expert so I can change the numbers according to what the RAM is rated to run at.

Hmm... my MB only has those 4 settings (6-3-3-2), nothing corrosponding to "xT" anything.
