I'm shopping around for DDR2 1066 RAM. I've only seen that timings at 5-5-5-15. Is there DDR2 1066 RAM that have 4-4-4-12 timing? I know you can overclock it to that but what about factory condition?
 
I don't know, there may be?

Changing the timings isn't really overclocking your RAM, so, changing it to 4-4-4-12 timings yourself won't be a real problem. As long as you run the RAM at the recomended voltage (2.2v most of the time), The timings won't be an issue. Also, you won't really see any real world perforance increase from 5-5-5-15, to 4-4-4-12.

oh ok :) because Timmie was bragging about his 4-4-4-12 RAM and how it's "so awesome" and saying how 5-5-5-15 RAM was awful.

No Problem! ;)

Haha, Timmie :P Nah, there's no noticable difference inless you're benchmarking, which I don't think you'll be doing.

What about 800MHz RAM, then OC'ing it to 1000Mhz?
 
thats what i do :D

mines running at 900mhz right now to match my fsb, at 3-4-4-15.

but seriously, i could run it at ddr800, 6-6-6-18 and probably wouldnt notice the difference. its more of a bragging thing, and leaves overclocking options open.
 
Having DDR2 1066 running at CL4 is pretty unheard of, most of the lower/mid-ranged DDR2 800 runs at CL5 even.

And you want a combination of speed and low latencies, having CL2-3 but only running at DDR2 400 isn't going to perform better then DDR2 1066 at CL5.
