Those are memory timings.

Generally the lower you can set them the better performance you get.

Probably not. Most that will happen is a non-boot. Just clear the CMOS and you'll be golden again.

if it where that easy to kill ram mine would be dead along time ago. Good settings to start out with are 16-8-8-2-8-2-2.
