I'm not too sure on the memory settings of this bios. Thought I'd get a second opinion or two...
The memory is G.Skill (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231087) F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK (1GB x 2)
I'm also not sure what timings (http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/pthartmann/Timingsc.jpg) I should try.
G.Skill's website (http://www.gskill.com/indexen.html) says: CAS Latency CL 4-4-4-12
Thanks for your input.

I just set the mem. to 1T. Memtest gave me one error in the beginning. Then prime95 only ran for 4min.

I'll try feeding it another volt tonight and see what results I get. I'm at 2.1v right now.

This bios won't let me change the multiplier higher than ten. The built in oc function only goes up to 15 percent. So I'll either have to mod something or start upping the FSB.
Here's the review for that memory:

In that review Command rate was used 2t. I am not sure about amd and ddr2 but on intel platforms ddr2 runs at 2T command rate.

Hey thanks meionm! That was a great review! :beer:
I've upped the voltage a little.
Now I'm running memtest again.
Just passed the point it had trouble last time.
I don't see a problem with the faster 1T command rate if it's stable.
I wish there was an easy way to change the multiplier in the bios.

I'm going to go back to 2T. I can't get a good torture test out of prime95. Not even w/stock settings right now.
I'm wondering if I should up the volts on the ram?
