Page 1 of SPD setting ?

My new mother board booklet says may main board is capable of DDR SDRAM CAS latency at options of 2,2.5 and 3 clocks.

It recommends that one leaves it at default which was set at SPD.

Now what on earth is SPD ?

It keeps crashing when set to SPD so I`ve set it to 3 figuring it cant do any more harm setting it to its highest rate ( at least I think its higher,but I could be wrong ).

I`m runninh 2700+ 333mhz ram,if that is relevant.


:/ :/

SPD (Serial Presence Detect) is a feature available on all DDR modules. This feature solves compatibility problems by making it easier for the BIOS to properly configure the system to optimize your memory. The SPD device is an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) chip, located on the memory module itself that stores information about the DIMM modules` size, timings, speed, data width, voltage, and other parameters. If you configure your memory by SPD, the bios will read those parameters during the POST routine (bootup) and will automatically adjust values in the BIOS according preset module manufacturer specifications.


Ooh...hark at me. :D

Obviously a bunch of pretend nerds in here Slop.
They know nowt. :B
