Anyone messing with the timings on on their Atlon 64 systems? The processor seems to be running rock solid at 220x10, but at very conservative timings. I left it at default 1:1, and it's running at 3-3-3-14, which I guess is Ok since it's only pc3200, but still. Should I try messing with it?, or should I leave good enough alone?

I've managed to get my 2.5v Apacer 3200DDR CL3 Samsung TCC4 chips to do 2.5-3-3-7@440DDR 2.7v It would run that speed and timings on my old P4PE/L too but never faster than cas 3 on my nF2 regardless of speed. You should try the settings I did and see how it goes, the on-die memory controller really seems to help out.

2-3-3-6-11 rock solid at 220x10 (regular and distruibuted computing) or 217x10 (3d games). I would go lower, but I hate to mess with a good thing.

Ok. I had a Prime95 error after 4.5 hours running everything at default, so I cranked up the Ram Voltage to 2.6, and set the timings at 2.5-3-3-7. Prime95 running for the past 4 hours without any problems. I'm hoping it'll go 48 hours without any hiccups. :)
