Increasing spped of RAM on Asus P4B533-V

[JohnDenmark]

I have the Asus P4B533-V and want to try to speed up the RAM.

Have read that lowering the SDRAM latency etc. can improve the performance.

Therefore my question is: what will happen if I increase too much?

I have tried to increase FSB on CPU and tweak the nVidia graphic card in small steps. When pressed too much the PC freeze in 3DMark2001 and after restart just lower the setting before new 3DMark2001 test and all is fine.

Is it the same with the SDRAM settings or is more (technical knowledge) required after changing the SDRAM settings too much?

My settings are as follows:

SDRAM CAS Latency 2.5
SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay 3
SDRAM RAS Precharge Delay 3
SDRAM Active Precharge Delay 7

Which settings are recommended?

Regards

The Motherboard may not boot. At least that's what my Gigabyte Bios says.

Run Sissoft Sandra on each memory stick individually. It will give you info on each stick. That's how I found out my computer memory was not matched in terms of specs. All of it is PC2100.

You can try setting the CPU/RAM ratio to 4:5 in the BIOS. I have my SAMSUNG PC2700 256MB running at DDR425 (2.5/3/3/6) on a P4B533-V. The latest BIOS (ver 1005) also let you use 3:4 ratio too. BTW my DDR voltage is 2.7
