I found this comment on Xtreview:
"The difference between PCI-E 4x and PCI-E 16x depend on the used card. for example there is no large deference between (pci-e 4x and 16x) if u have a 7600 gt card .but for a 8800 gtx the deference is pretty clear"
So I thought that maybe different video cards work the graphics in different ways and
that maybe there's a difference between ATI and Nvidia. Anyone has an opinion on that, does ATI and Nvidia take advantage of PCI Express 16x to the same extent?

My memory is 1GB Corsair XMS pc3200 DDR400 , 2-2-2-5. What I wrote about setting CL might have been a bit confusing. First I set CL to 2, than I loosened it to 2,5 and at last 3. So I think we agree there. I have set the other timings to [auto]. Maybe I should
try to insert the other three timings there (2-2-5) instead and remove [flexibility]?
The more timing info entered instead of Auto the better. Auto settings are usually safe and slow.
Not bad, thats only 12% less on the ASUS 7900GT TOP card at 1600 x 1200. Sometimes differences between driver versions are that big.
