P35 Platinum BIOS setup CRITICAL QUESTIONS...

Question

Hi,
my config:
Motherboard: MSI Platinum version 1.2 BIOS 1.5 092807
CPU: Intel Q6600 Quad Core 2,5 GHz, 1066 MHz, G0
RAM: 2 x 2Gb Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 800MHz 5-5-5-12 at 2.0 Volts
PSU: Corsair 620-HX 620W
HD: 2 x WD Raptor 74Gb WD740ADFD - 00NLR5
GPU: PNY Quadro Fx570
CASE: Antec Solo
THERMAL: Noctua NH12-F
FANS: 1 x Nexus 120mm 2 x Nexus 92mm
DVD
Floppy drive
S/O: Windows XP 64 bit
SOME CRITICAL QUESTIONS ABOUT BIOS SETTINGS:
1 - Advanced BIOS features -> MPS Table Version [1.1 or 1.4]
I read that this parameter depends on the SO type.
I would like to install Windows XP64 bit. What's the right setting?
2 - PnP/PCI Configurations -> PCI Latency Timer [32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, 248] where higher is better
I use PCI-E device (PNY Quadro Fx570). Are these parameters valid also for PCI-E?
3 - CELL menu -> Advance DRAM Configuration
I would like to manually set up the CAS etc.. parameters to the Patriot recommended values: 5-5-5-12 at 2.0V
These are the first 4 parameters...and the others??? Patriot don't specify anything else...
And how can I set up the voltage of memory? Under "Memory Voltage" there's "AUTO" set up, and there's no way to change it...if I set up custom memory parameters (CAS, ...) is the DRAM voltage auto adjusted by the motherboard (i.e. 2 VOLT) ?
4- CELL menu -> Adjust PCIE Frequency [between 100 and 200 MHz]
These are my GPU specifications:
PNY Quadro Fx570
core clock: 460 MHz
memory clock: 400 (800) MHz
Memory type: DDR2 SDRAM
RAMDAC: Dual 400 MHz
So....wath's the correct value for the PCIE Frequency????
THANX A LOT.

Just change the first 4 to show 5-5-5-15, the rest are best left alone for stability issues.

Set to 100, some people say 101
I am sure you find above useful
