Seems reasonable. What is the ram in question?

No problems there you can tighten if wanted.

Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX if i remember correctly

Avarage mem, won't get much better, you can try 4-4-4-12 but not sure if it's gonna be stable on this one.

Good c4 6400mem will do usually 870-900+mhz at 4-4-4-12 or lower.

Try a tRFC value of 45. That should hopefully be OK. I find 45-50 works fine, any less, and the PC refuses to boot.

the performance change will be so small as to be insignificant and lower the life as well

 

[Firegod]

...and lower the life as well

Shouldn't lower the life at all... pushing a lot of volts through it; then I'd agree.

Volts and heat are the killers (volts = heat) Tighter timings often need more volts to work hence the notion that timings can harm the ram.

It's a little vague, I know what you are saying, but timings alone will not harm the RAM. Like you say, voltage will.
