this n00b again

well now i know what they mean how do i choose the #'s

i guess this would be the right place to post this

i have a pc:

E6600
Msi p6n sli - fi
Geforce 6600
ocz2p8002gk -> 2 gigs of dual channel ddr2- 800
http://www.ocztechnology.com/product...m_dual_channel
on x64 vista.

well it was working fine until i put in:
http://www.ocztechnology.com/product...module_2gb_kit

now the PC has slowed down majorily. takes for ever to load vista and i tried to i nstall cpu z id but its so slow i can't even install it. when i look at the cpu useage, its stuck at 100%

now im a n00b but im willing to bet this has something to do with the memory timings, right now its set to auto, because it was always set to auto and it worked fine.

it says they should both operate at 2.1 volts
the platnium ram timings are CL 4-5-4-15 (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)
and the vista upgrade tiimings are CL 5-5-5-15 (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)

now since its probably because of the ram and its set on auto in bios, i can change to manual, but what should i put in for the number when i put in manual timings?

also when i put in the manual timings, there are about like 10 other numbers that i dont have the digits to because in manual mode alot of settings come up but i only have 4 numbers. so w hat should i do about those? should i just leave those the default numbers?

thanks in advance! hehe

2) The 8 PIN power connector on the MOBO is 2x 4pin power connectors combined in parallel to draw more power safely. 1x 4pin power plug will work, but you should think of an upgrade.
3) If you're running x64 OS and have more than 3GB ram installed but windows is only reporting around 3GB, Go into your bios and enable Memory remapping.

A little confuse here after reading this...my max fsb is 320mhz and I have DDR2-800, I am running ram at 10:8 which is exactly 800, 1:1 means 640, so should I set it back to 640 for 1:1 ? Tia

cool

Cas 3 is the safe, I had a mix of cas2.5 512 and cas3 512 both running at ddr400 and cas2.5 for more than 2 years, the cas3 got bad, later i paired the cas2.5vdata ram whit a cas2.5 kingston and they worked like dual channel

so, when some one states the ram runs at 5-5-5-18. What do each # stand for, because i have alot more settings then just the 4 in the bios.

Thanks in advance, +rep to whoever can help^.^

Edit*
Also i am Using A-data ram, and would like to know the limit of these settings and if i have to change anything els if i change those settings.
