Should be a place in the BIOS for RAM timing. Look for CAS latency time or something like that.

but why in VP6 board, there don't hv such RAS precharge or else!! they just hv
bank timing
bank interleave
delay DRAM read latch
SDRAM cycle time
memory hole

nothing else for memory!!! how do i set my tonicom 256mb pc-160 stick to 2-2-2cl?? now sandra show me that 2-3-2cl!!! and another thing is this is i stick of 256mb ram, and y sandra again report it as 2 bank of 128mb ram?? is that normal??

sdram cycle time has the setting options of 2 or 3 right?

you may not be able to.........not all mobo's give you the option to set them individually.

so how i'm gonna do it?? just let it run at 2-3-2cl?? it kind of wasted!! :(

ok well I did it last night and it seems to have made a diff to my overall performance , my fps went up but stability went down the toilet ! lol
now im running at 960mhz rock solid and fps seem good , I will benchmark tonight and see how I go.

Thanks for the link to the bios tweaks.

I have this board (well the CUSL2). If your having problems running your ram at cas2 then try changing the cpu:memory:pci ratio to 133:100:33. This will allow you to increase your fsb past your previouse high (if ram was your bottleneck that is) and keep it cas2. Cas2 @ 100 out performs cas3 @133. Thats how I run my setup usually. It allows me to bring the fsb up so high that the memory speed ends up back around 133 and I am able to still run cas2.
