RAM timmings ? Which ones are better ?

Hi guys ! ,
I found this really cool program called memset for intel chipsets that sets timmings for your RAM. Ive attached a picture for the timmings ive been able to achieve with my 667mhz 5-5-5-5 RAM. But I will want to adjust more only if I knew lowering which ones will actually gain performance. Because I remember that back in the day when I had a A64 desktop, lower timmings did not always mean performance so I need some help on that. By the way I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 and anyone that want to post thier timmings achieved, can do so in this thread.

 

Basically, lower timings does mean better performance. Sometimes, some timings mean more than others though.
But the most important one is the CAS latency (the first number). Get that as low as you can, is a good start.

I personally wouldn't bother with this though. You just get an unstable computer, and only marginal performance improvements.

 

A CAS latency of 5 is normal for DDR2-667 (PC5300/PC5400, same thing). Lowered timings generally mean better performance - I've seen one or two DDR2-667 modules with a CAS of 4, but you wouldn't notice the difference in everyday life, even in benchmarks it would hardly make a difference.
