How important are ram timings?

How important are ram timings and cas latancy to someone who doesn't care about OC'ing at all? If I don't care about overclocking, should that matter to me?

If you are looking at a general performance PC, it has little to no effect and plays a little factor. In real world applications, you won't see a difference.

Ok, so does it matter if I get ram with a Cas latency of 8? Should I have gotten a lower one?

6 is faster than 7 which is faster than 8 which is faster than 9.

Of small but measurable consequence in gaming but of significant value in number crunching, database access, CAD and other applications.
