1. MyIE2 has a good spell-checker built in. ;)
2. CAS latencies make almost no difference in performance. Between 2-2-2-5 and 3-4-4-8 there was only about 2-4Fps performance difference. However in some applications Dual-Channel memory can make a difference. Those things beings said I would buy the 1GB 2.5CAS DC Memory kit.

Cheers.

read his post ...

CAS LATENCIES MAKE ALMOST NO DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE.

Except for the fact that he has an AMD system and the last time I checked, the A7N8X was not an IGP motherboard.

I rarely look at people's signatures. :) But on a DC-Compatible AMD system you can see up to a 6% (or so) performance increase but this will be much more pronouced on an Intel system. This is because the theoretical bandwidth on a 400FSB Athlon is 3.2GB/s (so DC PC3200 memory equals 6.4GB/s of bandwidth) so it can't take advantage of all that extra bandwidth. However on an 800FSB P4 (which IS 6.4GB/s) all the bandwidth can be used.

Linkified OCZ Memory.

I have that memory, it performs well and is stable. Plus, if you buy the DC kit it is somewhat future compatible. I used this memory without problems in an A7N8X-X untill the board croaked and I bought my NF7-S.

my memory settings are sdram active precharge delay 8
ras to cas delay 4
precharge delay 4
cas 2.5t

are these correct or do they have to be cahnged in order to work better?
