CL2 wiv 2-2-2-4 are the lowest I have seen but these would also be tsome of the most expensive modules around... brand that I saw I have no idea...

Trust me I know what I'm doing... ooops, grab the cat...

I can run mine at 2-2-2-4 fine, but on my board i get a memory increase at 2-2-2-11.
Mushkin lvl 2 pc 3500.
2x512.
Which reminds me i have the same memory but in 2x256 version as well. Prolly should throw that on ebay.

You should try to get your system stable at CL2, and it doesn´t really matter if it´s 2-3-3-6 or whatever, the CAS latency will make most difference.

On the other hand you´ll be able to overclock the FSB much higher if you ease up on the timings, and that´ll give you even faster performance.

I´m running my RAM at CL 2.5 cause that allowed me to raise the FSB about 20MHz more.
