I've been tweaking my system to get the fastest/stable settings that I could. Right now I'm running my 2600-M at 2.5ghz 12.5x 200 at 1.725v on my a7n8x with bios 1.006. Currently I've set my timings on my Mushkin "blue" Lvl. 2 at 2-2-2-4. Everything runs stable....Prime95 ran for 24hrs with no errors. Should I keep my timings at 2-2-2-4 or should I change them? I have the memory at 2.8v. Is that a good volatage on these timings?

tRAS of 11 is best on nForce2 chipset. tRAS of 5 is best on 865/875 Intel chipsets. tRAS of 10 is best on A64 chipsets. You want 2-2-2-11. nForce2 likes active to precharge longer. It has been proven many times with Sandra...or if you want to prove it just run Sandra memory bandwidth benchmark...

Dave, ya got an article on that? I'd like to see some benchmarks, not that I don't believe you, just like to see numbers.

It is general knowledge, has been known for a long time. People have at OCForums, [H], and XS have tried 2-2-2-6 and 2-2-2-11. tRAS of 11 consistently beats tRAS of 5 or 6 on nForce2 chpsets. Do some Sandra memory bandwidth benchmarks, you will see.
