if you are happy with your current RAM speed, then you would play around with the Delays (writing and reading delays)
From what I can gather from the BIOS Survival Guide, these delays are only good for apps which
actually use them. But then who cares to find out which apps use them, for us, the lower these delays the
better.
So why not go ahead and set them all to 2/2/2/5 ?????
If you are happy at your RAM speed, then yep, go ahead and change them. But if you want to go higher
RAM speed, keep them at the defaults, as these are more stable settings. Once you are happy with your
RAM speed, then change these delays.
I've done it, changing these delays at a certain RAM speed and 3DMArk returns
the same score.
So cool that you can OC at 4:5. Now try 3:4. What HIGH setting does was give you 4:5. Not trying to spoil your
discovery or anything, but I would be surprise if keeping all else the same, if you cann't OC with 3:4 with H/W strap on LOW,
you will be able to OC at 3:4 with H/W Strap on HIGH.
4:5 give you lower RAM speed, and thus more stable. Try 3:4 and see what happens. Hope I'm wrong for your case.
I have XMS2700, rated at 2/2/2 and I know it can go to DDR400. BG7 is not giving it to me. Your 3200 should go higher and more stable
at DDR400.
Go team.

MeCalvin i don't think i can set my Corsair XMS 3000C2 512mb (1 stick) timing to 2-2-2-5. In the Abit BG7 manual, lowest settings are 1.5-5-3-3 ( i think).
Do you own a BG7 board? Also if i set my H/W strap on LOW, there are not timing option for 3:4 That is only available on the HIGH setting. Again do
actually own a BG7 board? I don't have the 3200 i have the 3000 Cas 2 ddr ram. On the corsair site its spec to go up to 370mhz, and i like to reach a higher speed at Cas2.
Someone tell me this, what is faster: 1.8A @ 2.45mhz with 333mhz ram OR 2.0A @ 2.66mhz with 311mhz ram ?
I'm trying to find out if overall system performance is faster via CPU or faster ram....?

Hi guys,
First cobra, you're going to love the p4b533-v! I drove down to CDR Express (yes they are the same company as Memory Media) yesterday and picked up a P4B533-V from them. I just finished installing it today and right off the bat I booted up at 160 fsb (4:5 divider) with 1.625 volts and 2.7 vdimm with no problem. When I checked the voltages in the bios, the board was actually overvolting! I was pleasantly surprised to see this since the Abit's tend to undervolt. This board is loaded with features! I'll post more details later after I'm done installing the leaked UT2K3 So far this is by far the best 845G board and it is ROCK solid and it seems to be higher quality than the BG7. I guess you really DO get what you pay for.

Lizardman....uummm..i'm such a noob...my 3.3V line? i disable the monitor becasue the temp of the MB and cpu look ok...i'm running at 133fsb +5%, and DRAM volt is 2.5V...
under pc health status... I/O voltage (+3.3V) is 3.15V
does that make sense? at this setting my temp after running 1 cycle of 3dmark2001 is 53C for cpu and 29C for system1 temp (MB)
i may try to run at higher fsb but this high temp is bothering me..thx for ur help

on the previous MB ..the asus p4s533...i was able to run it at 2.7 at 1.65V...it ran 10 cycles of 3dmark2001 and a couple hour of quake3 online...the temp reported thru asus pc probe program was around 47C...but here my idle temp is higher than that

btw, do you know the vCore, vDimm & vI/O ranges available of the Asus P4B533-V ?
thanks.

both boards are good. simply the Asus have much more options. thus it depends of your needs not the motherboard itself. do you need the features supplied by the Asus?!?
