Ram

[CuRve]

How do you determine the best timings for your cpu?
I know you don't want to go way low unless your cpu can handle the info being feed that fast, but i also don't want to be slow about it.
I want to buy ram, but i don't know what to get as far as timing and voltages

the CPU/motherboard manual should say.

O okay. I need to hunt down the manuals for that stuff then, because its not stuff i have yet. its ordered just havn't recieved yet.

it is also what your motherboard can support.

For the most part (except for overclocking) the SPD (default) settings should let you boot up fine. That is unless you are getting the high-voltage ultra-low timing RAM (like the Muskin Redline PC4000 2x512 BH-5/UTT ram)

Well what I did was, is went through and looked @ some bundels that new egg offered, and they had ram for my particular mobo with timings cas 4, so i figure I can go with ram that runs @ cas 4, but can be reduced to cas 3 with no problem.
