memory cycle in the bios

[flywheel]

I have just finished building a new system with a DDR board. The memory I used is Crucial PC1600 128MB (CL2). When I went in the bios it seemed to recogonize everything fine but the RAM was set at 2.5 cycles. I set it down to 2 since I'm using CL2 memory. Is that how I should do it? Should it be running at 2 cycles instead? Everything seems to run fine but I just wanted to make sure that I did that right since it only had 2.5 in there already. Does the bios not realize if you have 2.0, 2.5, 3.0??? Thanx

Seems you did the right thing. It's possible that your BIOS doesn't detect your RAM well and sets it to the standard of CL2.5 (If I'm right CAS 3 doesn't exists with DDR).
My BIOS also sets 2.5 while I have 2, I'm using an Abit KG7-RAID.
