[First Look] Intel 965 ASUS P5B Deluxe Result

Does it seem limited in DRAM timings to you guys?? Is that how it is with all Intel boards.. because I'm used to having 20+ timings to play around with on my DFI

Most Intel-based boards have only the main timings in the BIOS. You can change the secondaries in Windows using a program like MemSet.

MemSet don't support 965 yet.


7950 GX2 has one bug on 965 chip. So I must delay my 3D post.

7950 GX2 score is only half of 975x. That means is single 7950 GX2 cannot SLI.........I need to discuss with ASUS tomorrow.

Does memset automatically apply timings at startup?

I have faith in DFI's RD600 board, need my mem timings to play with !!

MemSet does have a save function.

Personally I've found the secondary timings on Intel boards to be important only if you're running something like SuperPi. Memory speed is generally much more important. With Conroe, you'll probably be running 1:1 or 4:5. So if your FSB is at 400 and you want to use the 4:5 ratio, you'll need memory that can do 500 (DDR2-1000).
