I have been tweaking my memory and thought I would mention some of my experiences.

My system:
GA-P35-DS3L
E8400 at 3GHz and 3.6GHz
Corsair Memory CM2X1024-6400C4 version 6.2
PSC 128Mx8 memory chips
DDR2 at 400MHz
2-1gig sticks rated at 444-12 at 2.1v
I have been able to run it at 1.8v even at 960MHz
SPD: 555-18, tRC 22, 1.8v at 400MHz per CPU-Z
Everest adds:
tRRD 3
tWTR 3
tWR 6
tRFC 42
tRTP 3

This ram really likes the SPD specs. Not surprising I suppose. :)

I found that most of the settings stay the same from 3GHz to 3.6GHz. Except for the main settings of 444-12 to 555-18 and tWTR and tWR have a mind of their own.

WTR and WR will crash Vista 32 when trying recommended settings and MemSet will show different settings than set in the BIOS. ???

I suppose more important tRD and tRFC seem to be the most important settings or show the most improvement other than CPU speed.

All these settings are at Memory multiplier of 2.4. At 3.6GHz I tried changing to 2.0 and Vista crashed hard. That supprised me. The memory was running stable at 960MHz but reducing it to 800MHz would crash the system???

Settings:

.......................3GHz..........3.6GHz....... ...Recommended.....MemSet diff

Perf. Enhanced Turbo........Standard

Memory Multiplier Auto.........Auto
Frequency..........800...........960

Standard Timing 444-12.......555-18

Advanced Timing:
tRRD...................3................3......... ............3-4
tWTR..................3................3.......... ...........9-11.............10..&11
tWR....................6................6......... ............3-5...............13..&14
tRFC..................42...............42......... ...........38-42
tRTP...................3.................3........ .............3-6...............5..&5
tRD.....................6.................6....... ..............7-10
Phase Adj.... left on Auto.

Any comment or suggestions???
