motherboard - Memory timings in CPU-Z : Memory and SPD tab discrepancy - What do they mean?

When I run CPU-Z in my netbook, in the memory tab, the timings displayed are 5-5-5-15, but in the SPD tab, the timings are 5-5-5-18 (JEDEC #3).


What do the differences in the timings between the tabs mean? Which is the timing followed by the computer?


The netbook is a Samsung NP-N150 (Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHZ processor). It has one RAM slot. It contains one 2 GB DDR2-800 RAM stick -"Elixir" brand, made by Nanya. (This is not the default RAM stick. This was upgraded from its default 1 GB stick.) The OS is Windows 7 Starter, 32-bit.
