I've read rojapak's BIOS optimization guide as well as many other literature out there about memory settings but I still have some questions. I have the following settings in my BIOS that I can't figure out...

Fast Command: Normal, Fast, Ultra
DRAM Burst Length: 4 or 8
DRAM Queue Depth: 2 level, 3 level, or 4 level
DRAM Command Rate: 1T or 2T
Write Recovery Time: 3T or 2T
DRAM Twtr: 3T or 1T

Can someone explain what these do and recommend which setting allows for the fastest memory performance? I'm currently running XMS3200 at CAS 2-2-2-6 (sync DDR333)...

thank you in advance!
 
A basic rule of thumb is to set EVERYTHING to the lowest possible number if U have top end ram. Mine is set to "turbo" i.e. "ultra" and the other settings are the lowest I could set them to.
