RAM Tweaks help Folding Times?

[Superman53142]

I just messed around with my RAM settings and increased my memory score in Sandra from 419/472 to 443/517. Do you think this will increase Folding times at all? Also, does anyone know what these settings do and if they should be enabled: DRAM Page-Mode, Fast Read-Write Turn Around, System BIOS cacheable, AGP Fast Write, CPU to PCI Write Buffer. Any help would be appreciated, I'm trying to tweak my system so Folding@home will go faster.

Actually CPU speed is the most important factor when folding. Perhaps the RAM settings will help a couple of seconds per frame, but thats about all I think.

If you like, try changing the settings an see how fast it folds. Return to us with your findings, so we can all make the same optimizations. Just change settings, run 10 frames, change settings again, run 10 frames, loop loop loop! :) This way you are sure that it is the same unit being tested...
