CAS Latency

[tgxiii]

I'm planning on buying some more memory and was wondering about CAS latency. Is there a noticeable difference between CL=2.5 and CL=3? The 2.5 is about 3 bucks more, is it worth it?

There is a small percentage performance increase with the CAS-2.5 over the CAS-3 in some applications, mainly games. One other thing to consider is that the CAS-2.5 will run faster than the CAS-3 making it your best bet for speed and stability when overclocking. So if you want to wring the last bit of performance out of your system, get the CAS-2.5. Otherwise, CAS-3 memory should meet your requirements.

I got my CAS-3 to run at CAS-2

The difference is only like $3, so I might as well give myself a bit of a headroom, just in case.
