In Advanced Chipset Features
1. What is Fast R-W Turn Around it says Leave on the default for SDRAM compatibility
2. Should I enable the Video Ram Cacheable option (says it will improve System performance, but if a program writes to this memory area, a system error may result)
3. Should I enable AGP Master 1 WS Write and Read (says these options enable AGP to write and read texture data to and from the main memory directly.
4. What would the clock ratio setting be for 1ghz@133?
5. In CLK/Voltage I have these options
a. Autodetect Dimm/PCI Clk -Enabled (would disabling it allow me to set my clock speed?)
b. Spread Spectrum -Disabled (what is spread spectrum modulate?)
c.Cpu Host Clock and CPU Ratio are obviously where you set the cpu speed and ratio....

Also I am planning on getting a 512MB PC133 Dimm, I have 2 Micron 256MB PC133 CAS3 Dimms. Should I stay with Micron because that is what I have in My computer or does that matter. Would getting CAS2 memory make a difference with what I already have? What is the cheapest I can get 512MB PC133 CAS2 for and where?
