There is no simple "speed" option for the people who have no business in there
in the first place. Memory timing is done by a series of operations, several
of which can be set.

*sigh*

The key word is "If you don't know what you're doing". Memory timing is not
for people who can't understand simple electronics.

Some people, like yourself, evidently, don't mind driving a family station
wagon. Others like to soup up their engines. I don't leave *any* of my MBs
on the "default"- that's the *slowest*, "most safe" speed and guaranteed
to leave your machine running at far less than it's potential because it
uses the most pessimistic settings for memory timing. There is no "contra-
diction, because the machine is still only assuming the memory inserted
is at least fast enought to keep up with it's slowest speed (100 ns?). I put
that in there to avoid tripping up the adventurous, so those who don't
know WTF they're doing won't come to me looking for help.
