Understanding RAM Timings

DDR and DDR2 memories are classified according to the maximum speed at which they can work. But, besides the speed, there is another information that tells you the memory performance: timings. Timings are numbers like 2-3-2-6-T1, 3-4-4-8 or 2-2-2-5, the lower the better. In this tutorial we will explain you exactly what exactly each one of these numbers mean.

This is a great article if you want to better understand ram timings better. It may even help you understand why your memory overclock can sometimes go horribly wrong.
