I want to see memory timing and ECC settings in BIOS, but don't see it on the setup screen (F12 at boot) on my Dell desktop.

I'm replacing the OEM 2 Gb DDR2 800 ECC (it's a workstation) with 4 Gb DDR2 800 non-ECC (faster) to speed up hi-def video rendering. The new ram is 4-4-4-12, CAS 4, and I'd like to verify it's running as advertised.

Also, I'd like to memtest after install. Would that show the timing settings too?

Lastly, the OEM memory runs at 1.8V, the new sticks 2.0V. Is there a voltage setting somewhere I should tweak, or will the X38 mobo do it automatically?

TIA...
