Off Topic: Hardware Question <I have a TX chipset and 64mb of 10ns 100mhz SDRAM. Should I reduce the DRAM timing setting in my chipset features setup to a lower value? Currently its set to 70ns which I assume is acceptable for EDO ram.> These settings are not applicable to SDRAM, just ignore them. Set the 70ns timing to "disable", or "manual" (or whatever it is in your BIOS). For the SDRAM timing there usually is only one entry, called 2/2 or 3/3. For 66Mhz bus you can use 2/2, for overclocked system (>75), better use 3/3. <Also, should SDRAM speculative read be enabled or disabled?> I would disable this. I saw MANY TX board that just would hang up forever after few steps through BIOS. If it does not hang when enabled, tell me please. <What sould my DRAM refresh rate be set to?> "Slowest" would be just fine, all current memory is of very high quality. Next time please state the model/name of your board and BIOS maker, for more accurate advices. Regards, Ali
