Memory settings on MSI K7T Pro2-A

[RaulDuke]

Hello,

I've got two sticks of Mushkin PC133 CAS2 REV2 RAM, and I'm a little bit confused on how to configure them optimally for this motherboard. I understand that the "overclocker's" BIOS gives you the ability to enable 4-way memory interleave, however I read in other posts that manually adjusting memory settings (as opposed to using "AUTO&quot😉 leads to a significant performance drop. So, can anyone tell me what the correct BIOS version and settings combination is to ensure that:

-The RAM is running at 133 MHz, CAS2
-4 way interleave is on
-the memory is generally running at optimum performance (without overclocking)

Thanks!

It's in need of another BIOS update.
The Auto function is faster than the cas 2 PC133 settings.
Interleave is only enabled with the auto setting.

Hopefully they will have this ironed out soon, but for now the auto setting is faster.

Thanks for clearing things up! It's not as complicated as I thought afterall...
