Another upgrade question for you tech junkies.

[Sean Maxwell]

Hello all,

Well I have a couple questions here:

1) Are these timings hurting me?

Speed: 260 w/ 4x HT

CAS Lat: 3
RAS to CAS Delay: 3
RAS Precharge: 3
Cycle Time Tras: 4
Bank Cycle Time Trc: 22 (wtf?)
DRAM Idle Timer: 16

2) Would I benefit from the new dual core processor? (3800+ w/ OC'ing probably to 2.4 atleast)

- In games?
- Desktop "quickness"
- Overall performance in general?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Nah, you should probably save those 400 bucks and use it in 2 years or so when your system becomes outdated.

Ok, thanks for the input! And as for the memory timings? By the way, I'm a hardcore newb when it comes to memory timings

Running at 260HT, probably not. Have you tried 4X, rather than 3x, to get that HT up closer to (or in this case, over) 1GHz (2GHz)?

It's pretty okay.
