Alright, which CL 2.5 chip?

[Craig_Johnson]

Newegg has Geil PC3200 Cas Latency: 2.5 8-4-4 with heatsinks for $89.50 and Generic PC3200 Cas Latency: 2.5 4-4-8 2T for $61.27. Which is the faster gaming memory in dual channel mode and what is the difference between 8-4-4 and 4-4-8 anyway? And what about the Geil 6-3-3 stuff they used to sell, is that better than what they are pushing now?

TIA
CJ

4-4-8 and 8-4-4 are the same thing, they reversed the numbers. 3-3-6 has a 25% faster response time (that is, 25% less latency).
