I am a bit confused about the memory times, CPU-Z says my FSB:DRAM ratio is 5:8, is it best to have 1:1?
 
Right now my memory settings are 5-5-5-15-2T, is this the standard spec for this type of RAM?
 
Thx

Your current FSB:RAM ratio actually translates to 5:4. that sounds like the stock speed of the RAM to me, assuming your FSB is set to 1333, and your CPU multiplier is at 10x. That ratio is *very good*. Anything past 2:1 absolutely fine. Even 2:1 would give you only the mildest of bottleneck issues, noticeable to most users only when running a benchmark program. Your RAM speed is fine.

If you want to know what the RAM's suggested timings are, open CPU-z again and click on the SPD tab, and select a populated RAM slot using the drop down box near the top of the window on the left. You will see suggested timings and voltage levels for your specific RAM.
