memory settings ?

When people post memory settings at 2-2-2-2-2 , or 2-2-2 , is there a specific order these settings are in and if so , what does each one.stand for ,1st , 2nd ,3rd , 4th , 5th ( 2-2-2-2-2-2); or 1st , 2nd , 3rd (2-2-2)?

i would like to know myself

Hope this helps some. The 2-2-2-5 settings are referring to BIOS settings for memory. These numbers are for my BIOS using a ASUS A7V266-E MB. The First (2) is for CAS Latency, Second (2) is for RAS Precharge time, Third (2) is for RAS to CAS Delay, and The (5) is for Active to Precharge Time. The settings will vary from system to sysem and from BIOS to BIOS. Hope this helped explained it.

Glad to help.
