Thats pretty good ram. What Mhz are you running at.

You can leave it at auto if you wish, but you are probably missing out on performance.

I would at least try it on the most aggressive memory timings, double checking that it runs ok with the program MEMTEST86.

well what do you have the memory speed set to in the bios? And is that a 2.4A or 2.4B cpu?

Ideally you want a high fsb:ram ratio like 3:4 and agressive memory timings to squeze performance out of that ram.
