Memory Timings

[Keetha3]

I just have one "simple" question.
11*190=2100 @ 2-2-2-6 OR
10*210=2100 @ 3-3-3-6 OR
9.5*220=2100 @ 3-3-3-7
Thanks in advance.

Oh, and one other question. Any suggestions on a good CD burning software? I have Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 and I hate it.
Thanks again.

Personally I'd go with the first one, but why not benchmark them and decide based on those results?

depends on what RAM u use. i just unlocked my t-bred A 1800+. i've 2*256MB PC2700(DDR333) RAM. i was checking various settings. Right now i am posting this at 14*133, that is 1845MHz. at this setting, its DDR 266. however, i even got 1870MHz with 10.5*178 which is DDR 356.

hmmm, back 2 ur question. if u have DDR400, any setting wud work fine.

I do have Corsair DDR400. I just wanted to know if giving up the faster memory latency for faster FSB would be worth it.

Memory timings will result in a latency of

190mhz cl2 = 10.5ns
210mhz cl3 = 14.2ns
220mhz cl3 = 13.6ns

respectively. You would have to run at 285mhz cl3 to equal the latency of the 190mhz cl2. Or run at 237.5mhz cl2.5 to equal the same latency at 190mhz cl2. Go with the first, latency is everything.

And you would need to run at 238mhz cl3 to equal 190mhz cl2 in a standard 8 transfer burst length used in most accesses of ram. In a sustained burst latency means nothing and the higher mhz would always win, but they're never used in modern memory access.
