OK, I'm wondering if I set my timings at the fastest, most aggressive settings....

CAS: 2
BANK INTERLEAVE: 4
PRECHARGE TO ACTIVE(TRP): 2T
ACTIVE TO PRECHARGE(TRANS): 5T
ACTIVE TO CMD: 2T
DRAM QUEUE DEPTH: 4 level
DRAM COMMAND RATE: 2T command
DRAM DQS LENGTH: default

From my Soyo K7V Dragon+ mobo ...
Let me know if you know.

cool... I'm running a 148 FSB as well. Is that the best performance I could possibly get out of my RAM? Could I tweak further?

Up the FSB :) What do you get in Sandra 2002?

Using Sandra 2002...

2162/2079 (int/float)...according to the reference benchmarks, it's slower than i850 + CAS 2 PC800RDRAM, but faster than any other DDR-based mobo.

So John, you're kind of scaring me. In the BIOS, I can adjust the settings higher and or lower... if you are implying that's as "fast" as I can go, you think my Crucial will blow up in a few months?? Should I back down some of those settings?
