CAS

[Woodson]

When adding a new ram module, do the CAS's have to be the same? I.e, can you use one module that has a 3.0 latency and another that has a 2.5 or 2.0 latency?
From what I've read here, all modules will default to the slowest latency.

Thanks

yeah, it'll just work at the slower CAS... if the modules are mean, then they won't work together =D

Yeah, but both moduals will default to the highest common CAS rating between them.

A CAS2 and a CAS3 stick in the same system will forse both to run at cas3

In some cases, the memory modules need to be programmed to a certain latency in order to work properly with the motherboard.

An obvious example is with PC-133. Many PC-133 motherboards do not support CL2.
