RAM timings and opinion..
Hello.... i have corsair XMS2 2GB (2x1GB) ram....
ive overclocked my processor to 2.91GHz... ive heard that the RAM shud also be overclocked in order to cope with the processor...
but in order to do that i have to set the ram timings which i have no experience on it... i attached my BIOS on setting RAM timings... ive tried setting the 1st four option to 4-4-4-12 and the others auto.. the computer gives a long "beep" sounds which freaks me out and i quickly turn it off and reset the CMOS to make it to default settings...
the problem is... when the settings are at default, the winXP loading looks very smooth.. however.. when i overclocked to current settings... the loading appears like stuck for a while and then after a while it backs to normal...but when it comes to the system everything looks fine!!
the question is, shud i change the RAM timings in order to cope with the ocd settings? if so, what number shud i enter to the bios (im not really into the max.. as long as its stable and runs fine and smooth to me.. thats kinda okay)... and if OCd RAM is risky... im buying another set of RAM ... its 2GB... so equivalent to 4GB.. i know the XP didnt detect all 4GB but some forums says its better especially in playing games...
so is by adding these another sets of RAM can cope with current settings? any opinions will help... thanx in advance...
