    Time for the disclaimer! :D :D
    ***DISCLAIMER: NotebookReview.com, its users including me, and the creators of this program (MemSet) are not responsible for the loss, corruption or destruction of your data or computer or you by the usage of the program described herein.***

    Well, now that the disclaimer is taken care of, I was surfing the intertoobs on how to change the FSB on my laptop when I suddenly stumbled upon this. It is a small utility called MemSet, and I thought it was worth mentioning. The sole purpose of it is to change your RAM timings (for those tweak-happy people like me out there) and the best part about it is that it is compatible with most chipsets from the Intel i440BX to the latest and greatest PM/GM965 Santa Rosa "Crestline" chipset family. You can change nearly every timing possible (I wasn't able to change the CAS# latency (tCL) but everything else worked fine). It is very easy to use and you can save a profile that automatically loads on each startup without user intervention. If you like tweaking your RAM timings, then I suggest that you try out this program. Here is a screenshot:

    Thanks to Herve Gournay for writing this program, and you can dl it at http://www.tweakers.fr/memset.html

    And remember, always do extensive testing to make sure that the RAM is stable after you change its timings.
