I really hate the use the word synergy... but I couldn't think of a better one :lol Anyway, I'm finalizing the parts on my new rig and I wanted to make sure that everything I've picked out will work well TOGETHER. I remember reading a while back that memory timings are linked with CPU speeds somehow? and that there are ideal settings to use or something like that? It's been about 5 years since I've built my own computer so my memory is a little fuzzy. I may be making stuff up, and if that's the case just tell me I'm making stuff up!
