Memory Timings Vs Frequancy

Hi

Ok, Got some new RAM today, Installed and started to play with the settings

Anyway, I have basic Overclocking knowleage That covers CPUs and Graphic cards, But on RAM im abit stuck

So What is the better settings to have my RAM on:

876Mhz 6-6-6-18-26 2T 2.45v
or
680Mhz 3-3-3-10-15 1T 2.1v

So is Frenqancy or timings better to have?

The RAM is OCZ Titanium DDR2 PC2 6400, On a MSI K9N Sli Platinum

Thanks In advance

*Edit* Was abit drunk last night Results day yes I did overclock and Set the timings Sober first, anyway got the 800mhz frenquancy wrong

Well the 876Mhz timings are a bit bad....Also, the 2.45V is a bit high. So I'd recommend the 680Mhz timings. Anyways, you won't notice too much difference. I have modified my timings from 5-5-5-15 2T to 4-4-4-12 2T, and I didn't notice any difference....

Hi

Thanks for the Help, with some reseach that I have done it is ment to be better to have lower timmings on a AMD system, then having high frequancies

Yep, Intel's need more memory bandwidth than Athlon's.
