Ok, here's my dilemma. i just traded in my 512MB DDR400 (2x256) (and yes, you read that right, traded in) for 1GB of DDR400 (still had to pay like $116, but not a bad offer, plus the ram has RAMSinks. The problem is, as of right now i can't have my CPU cranked up to 3.0Ghz while having the RAM in the 400Mhz range. if i have the RAM at 415, which is where it would be if i had the CPU at 3.0Ghz, my computer either won't boot, or will be very unstable. The DDR400 that i got is rated for a CAS setting of 2. Was kinda wondering exactly what the terms meant for the RAM timings and which are the best to adjust and to where. the numbers shown are what are shown in my BIOS when i have the RAM timing adjustments set to auto (or SPD according to my BIOS).
CAS Latency Time = 2.5
Active to Precharge Delay = 7
DRAM RAS# to CAS# delay = 3
DRAM RAS# Precharge = 3
Refresh Mode Select = 7.8 us
