Memory timings...

What would be the difference in system speed compairing memory set at 4-4-4-12 vs 4-4-4-8?

I don't know if it is possible to overclock on my laptop, it seems this system has some corsair DDR2 memory, @ 533MHz

    The difference would, quite literally, be fractions of 1-2% in synthetic benchmarks.

    Yep, I'd agree with Thrax. Tras in specific does not impact overall system performance very much. On top of that, it is also a fairly 'insensitive' timing as far as system stability is concerned. You can usually adjust it quite a bit in either direction, regardless of the SPD timings.

    Yeah I would love to adjust the timings, but this system has no ability. Its just a laptop, so buying new ram with those timing abilities probably would just be a waist all together anyways.
