Noob time....DDR question

[rlong]

Hey everyone.
I ;ve seen people posting about ram and using numbers like
"tried 3-4-4-8, no post (just like old RAM), tried 2-3-3-11, post and boot"
I'm just wonderign what the numbers are and where you find them.
Thanks

Those numbers refer to the ram timings. Here's a site that will explain that and more as regards ram.

Here's a short post that also discusses timings <A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=153637#153637" target="_new">http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=153637#153637</A>

Hope some of that helps
