SDRAM Active Precharge Delay
SDRAM RAS to CAS delay
SDRAM RAS precharge delay
SDRAM CAS Latency

all twos across the board. Pretty much all your memory timings in the BIOS can be real low. set command time to 1, and 4 way bank interleave also. Heck, you might even be able to get a cas latency of 1.5. just try it, if your OS crashes, play with the settings until it doesn't.

i set all of them to 2 and my system wouldnt do the quick memory test at startup. couldnt enter bios so i had to clear the CMOS.

anyways, i set the last three to "2" since they had values of 3, 3, 2.5 respectively. the first one however was at 8, so to go from 8 to 2 was a big jump. when mushkin refers to CAS 2-2-2, i dont think they also refer to the SDRAM Active Precharge Delay. however based on the other specs being at 2, what should teh SDRAM Active Precharge Delay be?
