Optimizing my memory to run at 2-2-2?

[Nocturnal]

My current rig is in my signature. I do not overclock. I currently have Crucial Ballistix PC3200 memory. I have the settings to auto in the BIOS. If I have it set to auto, does anyone know if it's currently running @ 2-2-2 settings? Or can my memory even run at those speeds? If no, and I have to set it that way, what's the best/easiest way to do this? If not, then what's the most optimal way to get my system to run faster?

Auto should set it to the memory's rated speed, I believe. I forget what program you can check your RAM timings in Windows with, I'm sure someone here will post it momentarily.

there are alot of programs taht display your ram timings......such as.....CPU-Z, everest, etc, etc.......etc...........etc...

Cool thanks. I do have Everest and this is what it says:
@ 200 MHz 2.0-2-2-8 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS)

Or just go into BIOS and set it to manual and it it there yourself, Ballistix will reach 2-2-2 no problem.

Can 2 gigs (1 gig stick each) of Patriot, timed auto at 2-3-2-5 run 2-2-2-5, 400MHz? And if so would it need a lot of additional cooling?

Slightly diff'rent timing with same freq would have no significant affect on temp. If it cannot do it then a voltage increase might help and even then it wouldn't need any more cooling.
