would this memory fit good with an DFI NF4 Ultra D.I just bought it and a AMD64 3000 from Gir.

It will fit just fine, but that's the same board I have right now and the memory doesn't like my stock voltage settings. It tests out just fine with MS memchecker though.

should I change the timings to 2-2-2-5? cpu-z says its 2-2-2-8 I think. You think I can be able to pull 2-3-3-6?

When I got this same RAM a few months back, at stock it also showed up as 2-2-2-8 in CPU-Z, I just went into the BIOS and changed it to 2-2-2-6 and its been running perfectly ever since.

 

Great Ram! Love the Stuff :P

what?.....2-3-3-6 is looser than 2-2-2-8 or 2-2-2-5, of course you can loosen it, the hard part is tightening it

 

rule of thumb, set CAS latency as low as possible, like 2

 

then the next two dont matter much, just keep 2-2-2- if you can

 

but the last number should be 2x the first

 

for instance, my memory at 250Mhz will run 2.5-3-3-5, but it will also run 2.5-3-3-6 and 2.5-3-3-7, but if you run memory bandwidth benchmarks on it you will get the most bandwidth from 2.5-3-3-7, having the last number lower than approx. 2.5 * the first is not ideal
