BF2S Forums Memory optimization

I'm not too sure if you can reduce the latency on RAM. I would try overclocking the RAM...that is, depending on your knowledge of that.

look for 'set by SPD' or something similar in your bios settings

I went into my bios settings today i tried setting it to the described timings.
But by select manual input over automatic, I have 5 fields to fill out rather than the 4 I expected

DRAM CAS# Latency: 4.0 clocks                     Which I set down to 3 Clocks
DRAM RAS# Precharge: 4 clocks                     Which I set down to 2 Clocks
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay: 4 clocks              Which I set down to 2 Clocks
DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge: 12 clocks   Which I set down to 8 Clocks

And then I have DRAM Write Recovery Time : 4 Clocks (by default)
Other options for this setting are: 2,3 and 5 Clocks
What is this and what do I set it to?

Not knowing what this was I've set everything back the way it was and I'm waiting...

Here are the general specs of my computer:
CPU: Pentium 4 550 3.4 Ghz FSB 800 (some site say it's a 1066 but since mine was advertized at 800 when i bought it that's what i'm gonna say)
Motherboard: Asus P5AD2-Premium
Ram: Already Mentionned

Mm... A couple of things wrong, that's for sure. Your bus is running at 266.6 MHz, that's quite normal for an older CPU, so in essense you have bought memory that is a lot faster than you need. This is not unusual. You have to know though, that you MAY not be able to increase the timings to "max" when you run this low a frequency.

Now, granted my cpu is not some cool dual core or quad core slick shit but that comment is just cold. J/k.
Correct me if i'm wrong but my bus is running at 800 Mhz, my FSB is @ 200 with a multiplier of 17 (3.4ghz) and the memory frequency is @ 267.6 thus the 3:4 ratio.
