fix for Corsair XMS3200LL and i865 / i875

saw this linked to on Toms, thought it might help someone:

Here's the answer I got from Robert Pearce, Corsair's Applications Specialist:
Scott:
The problem is the chipset won't handle a tRCD (RAS to CAS Delay) of 2. We've done a revision of the SPD to make the LL's work on the 875 and 865 chipsets, the settings are now 2-3-2-6 by default.
We will, of course, warranty any modules with the older SPD but it should be noted that the end user can simply manually adjust the BIOS to the settings noted above

well thats lame. Gotta use slower settings for the ram you paid money for? bleh

but you can still overclock this memory like a mofo

Interesting that I run my IC7 i875 with 2-2-2-5 timings. This is with XMS 3200C2 (not LL).
