RAM timing question

I am purchasing some RAM modules from NEWEGG. Both Newegg and the RAM manufacturer list the timings of the RAM at 2-3-2-5. Does this mean the RAM will run at these by default or do I have to do something, say to the BIOS, to get it to run at these clockings?

THANKS!!!!!!!!

you should be looking for the SPD timings. That is what your motherboard will run it at, by default at least.

If newegg says it's 2-3-2-5, that's probably the SPD timing.
Oh yeah, you'll want to be looking at the SPD times for 200MHz, not 166.

good luck,
