Tom Brinkman was kinda explaining it to me - seems auto/spd has your MB grab
the specs from the Ram itself. So if the Ram is over-rating itself to the MB,
then you could have problems. (I think I got this right). By going manually,
you dicate to the Ram how its to run. Which, in a convoluted way is kinda
what you were saying...
Does that make any sense? :-)

Yes, the man page explains how you can get it to focus on diff. areas of cache
and ram. Very cool program.
