I currently have 4 gb of twinmos ram (4x1gb) running in dual channel mode, having looked at CPUZ it seems my memory is running very slow, wanted to alter the timing, went on manufacturers website and all I can find is cut and paste below!! can anyone help me set these?ps. i am running 32-bit vista with no trouble using 4gb!

thanks in advance

timing is set in the BIOS

thanks for your reply, but does that mean that I cannot alter the memory timing, if they are set automatically?

Thanks

CPU-Z - he said.

It depends on your BIOS - on my 780i, every aspect of memory from timings to voltage is adjustable. If you're lucky, there will be idiot-proof memory overclocking settings - on mine, it's a series of multipliers from CPUOC 0% to CPUOC Max.

Setting memory overclocking manually is fraught with dangers and should only be attempted with a thorough understanding of the subject. I'm clueless, so I don't
