    only way to find out is to change the settings . That is most likely your mb setting it to that .

    Indeed, try to run on 2-2-2-11 ( CAS, RAS/CAS, RAS and Tras ). Nothing beats that on nForce, also CPU interface on enabled. ( enables 1T command rate ). My Corsair Pc3200 can run those up to 210fsb. When you've changed the timings of the ram, run Superpi to check if its stable.

    What about going to kingstons website and checking what it will do, then try it? I mean most real manufactures have the specs listed.

    As AAlcHemY said, try 2-2-2-11 timings for memory and run memtest. Test #5 seems to be the one that will fail first if the timings are too fast. If you can run through a couple of loops of the standard tests without failure then you're good to go. If you get a couple of failures, try bumping the vDimm up to 2.8 volts to see if that stabilizes things.

    Kingston lists their HyperX PC3200 RAM as running with the timings of 2-2-2-6-1. Here is a link to the specs on the the memory:

    Also while you are on the topic of upgrading your computer, may I suggest that you buy a frame grabber card to defeat attempts for driver to increase image quality with frame captures.
    These types of card are discussed in the later pages of this thread: http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7903
    One card like this is the Unigraf UFG-01 Frame Grabber described here: http://www.unigraf.fi/PAGES/Framegrabber.htm
    Another card is the iView iVD-RGB here: http://www.iviewdata.com/html/ivd-rgb.html
    iView also appears to accept international orders.
