Hello all
I am having difficulty setting up my GA-P45-UD3R rev1.1 motherboard BIOS settings to get decent(hopefully great) memory performances in windows 7 pro x64. I had a bios template that allowed showed me settings I should set the BIOS options too, but it was lost when my old HDD crashed. And anyway those settings were not really optimal due to the slowness of windows 7.
I been reading around the web at various tech related sites, forums, blogs to see if I could find a good "(G)MCH Frequency Latch" and a "system memory multiplier" noob editing guide. I found a couple, but some of the guides were fairly dated (1998-2004) or they used a lot of "tech jargon" that was difficult to understand and/or follow.
I just want to set the BIOS to default settings for my hardware that will give me the best performance in games/applications. I could just take out 4GB of memory, but I play a game called "World of Warcraft" in which I "multibox" (playing 2+ accounts at once) and require the extra memory to handle that.
As of right now, I have most settings on auto in my bios. I have taken the liberty of taking screenshots of various "hardware monitoring/info tools" and put them in a single screenshot. If you need a pic of a certain tool, let me know and I can try to provide it to you. I will also post a bios template of my settings in the BIOS as of right now. These settings are fairly exact and I am looking for assistance in setting the BIOS settings to allow great performance from all of my hardware.
Here is the screenshot, as you can see the latency is fairly high and the DPC latency is troublesome

here is my bios template:
hopefully I can get this sorted out easily. Also if performance would be better, I do not mind dropping the speed of the memory frequency to 800MHz and or bumping up voltages and FSB.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to get all the info I could get and put it in 1 post. Thanks
