I can't explain it too well, so I did a google search and found this article. It provides some info on what memory latency is, and how it affects performance and such. I believe that if you set your memory timings too tight, your system will be unstable as a consequence - but it won't fail to boot or crash your system or anything like that. Anybody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm still using an old kt266a board that doesn't have too many options to change timings. Hope this helps. Oh yeah...

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!

If your memory timings are too tight, when you save and exit out of BIOS, you'll get this series of beeps or just a black screen, and you'll usually have to reset CMOS. That' s what happens on my board.

There is a little white jumper (usually next to your CMOS battery) that is on two of three pins. Switch the jumper to the other pin (if its on pin 1 and 2, switch to 2 and 3). Or go out and buy an ASUS mobo and you never have to worry about reseting your CMOS lol.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, never say the A$&$ word. That's a horrible curse in the forums.

A... boards really suck when compared to the overclock reached with the NF7 rev.2 and the DFI Infinity boards. Asus, with their terrible bios, just can't compare. Now for PIV, it might be different, but for AMD, A... is terrible. Just save your money and buy the NF7.

Just to help those around you solve any of your problems, could you put your system in your sig? It really helps diagnose problems and make recommendations.

My ASUS A8V is probably the best most reliable socket 939 board on the market. Better clarify things a little more when trashing a company!!

You forgot to tell him to make sure the PSU is unplugged from the system.

Down fluffy, down.

I meant AXP boards. Like the A7N8X boards. They have such limited overclocking settings and potential, that they aren't even worth mentioning next to the NF7 or DFI Infinity

Ok....fair enuff. ***-sue-us Nforce2 mobos. Ie: A7N8X Delux.. etc etc...now THOSE really sux.

I will say that the Asus Intel mobo were always solid. I know alot of pplz prefer them over the IC7 or AI7

Ha, got here before you

Thanks for the back up.

All right, out back now. I'm going to have to beat you down. Sometimes learning is interactive.

I'd do a search on it. Apparently, it's something that your board can do automatically.
