so.. I dont get how it has 2 diffent timing listed.. can someone help me understand this..
 
When you Overclock the HT or FSB you are overclocking your RAM also. If, during the process of OCing, you can't push your RAM any higher you can reduce the timings, overvolt, etc. Most people can get by with simply upping the voltage but sometimes you'll have to raise the timings to achieve the required flexibility.

The different RAM timings corespond to the different RAM speeds.. The timings are looser at 200mhz than 166mhz because of the reduced speed. Just remember that the speed of your RAM is more important than slightly tighter timings.
