Corsair Value Select, 2 Slightly Different Timings!?

[lettuce]

In my old system i have 2 512 sticks of Corsair Value Select, and 2 1GB stick, making 3GB or RAM in total. I have looked on the Corsair website for the timings of these sticks, the 512's have a timing of, 2.5,3,3,8 and the 1GB has timings of 3,3,3,8.

In the ASUS A8N-SLi bios, what timings should i put 2.5 or 3, seeings as you can only define 1 timing for all the sticks of RAM in a system??

Try 2.5, if that doesnt work, then 3.

Higher numbers will make it more stable if the ram cannot handle it.

What are the signs that the ram is unstable, blue screen??
