Gentemen, thanks for the info.
My board listed 633 as normal, 632 as enhanced, 623 as fast and
622 fastest. Based on this it seems as if the first two would
correspond with cl3, while the faster two must match up with
cl2.
I'm going to check out the corsair site for background.
Cheers,
Dave
PS my board is an older kt133a and memory is crucial CL2.
However, I have had some unusual events using 622, such as mpeg
encoders and other apps simply disappearing in XP PRO.
One minute it was encoding, then it was gone.
No error message, nothing.
Secondly, I set the bios to performance defaults which
uses 633 and cl3. Using sandra and aida32 and their
benchmarks, the difference between this setting and
622 cl2 was tiny, less than 1%. I would have thought it
should have been more, but I couldn't measure it.
