DDR latency..huh?

[94transam]

Ok ya'll
I dont know much about the DDR settings yet
I have DDR set to use spd in bios. And in the blurred out section it says
CAS Latency 2.5t
RAS-CAS Delay-4t
RAS precharge-4tDRAM Active-10t


Few questions (as always, arent i a pain?)

1. Are these good settings? maybe why?
2. What kinda trouble am i asking for by going more extreme?
3. How can i monitor the trouble

and

4. I saw somewhere in this forum someone said Corsair XMS 3200's run at 2.7v mine only offered 2.6 and 2.75 I have it set to 2.75 is this going to cause me any trouble?

Thanks again guys!

I changed my settings to
2.5t
2t
2t
8t
Respectively
a
and went from 13500 - 14150 in 3dmark2001

So i take it lower is better?

But shouldnt i be able to get to 2-2-5?

This is as far as bios let me go

try doing a search for "CAS" ?

different bioses have different ranges of values that you can select, though 8t seems high for the minimum setting.

do you have the latest bios for your mobo?

Yes siree. I really want to get to 5t. I've read articles and reviews about this DDR that says it is supposed to run at that.
