Ok I have finally orthos'd my new conroe setup. I am running 356FSB @ 3.2 and 1.5v. My question is I can run my Ram which is Mushkin PC2-8000 Redline 4-5-4-11 timings, at 890mhz 4-4-4-12, or 712mhz 3-3-3-9. Which would you guys recommend me running, tight timings or high speed?
 
the timings for c2d does not matter much. personally i would test both settings then which ever is faster in the tests, use that setting.
 
Speed > timings for Intel. Although, I'm running an E6300 w/ a P5WDH, I'm awfully FSB limited (420 max, 410 stable), I run 1:1 @ 410mhz 3-3-3-1, I get a balance of decent mhz / great timings. Just find what suites you best I suppose.
