CAS 2 Vs. CAS 3

[Tempus]

Is there really a noticleable difference between CAS 2 and CAS 3 PC133 SDRAM? Is it worth the extra cost?

I was wondering the same thing a few months ago, so I bought some Cas2 (knowing thtat I would overclock) and yes, there is a big difference. I have tried my performance tests on both setting, the difference is quite sizable.

I would really say that it depends what you use your computer for and if you're a power user.

In games and memory intensive applications- yes. About 10-15 percent.

And of course, the final decision is yours to make.

Actually I see less content in yours than I do in any of Arrow's posts I've read. Even his above statement has more content than yours. Because, whether it is worth the cost is relative and subjective and ultimately up to a person to decide. Even when things are obviously better and worth the cost to most it still is not that way across the board.

Advertising a personal or business website does not seem out of line to me .. if a person takes the time to answer peoples questions. Nobody forces anyones arm to move the mouse cursor over the link and click. You have that freedom.. you also have the freedom to advertise your own website in your own sig. Just because his above statement is one line doesn't mean it lacks value and you can't expect him to change or remove is sig line everytime he decides to post a short answer. To be honest, I had never clicked his link before until you designated an entire post in pointing it out. So you actually reinforced it's presence.

I clicked it only because you made a big deal. It makes me glad I don't live in Canada those prices are ludicrous. I'd drive to the states to spend my money.

Thanks, I know it's my final choice Arrow, and my choice is CL2 of course. It wasn't a product recommendation question, just curioslty.

is there a way to determine if you have cas2 or cas3 ram. can anybody explain this to me cause im not too knowledgeable about ram.

If at first you don't succede, skydiving isn't for you. :frown:

Many newer boards will autodetect it in BIOS. You can open BIOS on these and see what it says.
Alternatively, you can cross check your part number on the RAM companies website.
