ASUS Rampage Formula tRD Performance Values

[yowasup]

As quoted by Anandtech:

As we pointed out before, "Ai Transaction Booster" is completely revamped for this board series. Setting this option to manual allows the user to take full control of the "Common Performance Level", meaning that all memory phases will baseline at the value as set. Each individual phase can then be "pulled-in" or left as is. "Pulling-in" a phase reduces just that phase's associated tRD value (performance level) by one. Like memory timings, lower values are tighter and thus provide better memory read performance and lower latencies. If all phases are pulled-in, this is the equivalent of selecting the next lower common performance level and performs identically to this new setting. Thus, pulling-in particular phases can allow the user to affect a minor performance improvement if selecting the next lower common performance level is not possible.

If I bought 4 gigs of G.Skill DDR2 1066: (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231144)
What would be an appropriate value to set my memory at?

I'm not very knowledgeable in this area.

tRD is a function of the chipset, the memory only indirectly affects what you can set.

To determine an optimal tRD we, at the very least, need to know what FSB you will be using, what memory ratio, and the CAS latency you set.
