CAS 2.5 or 2?

[phantomracoon]

I can get CAS latency 2.5 for 150$. (1 GB crosair) I can get 1 GB 2.0 CAs latency (Corsair XMS) for 200$. I cant go to BIOS,(store bought) so i cant change the latencys. 2 Q's

1. Will my MSI MS-6741 MOBO dectect the right CAS latency?

2. does the extra .5 CAS latency make a noticable difference to warrent an extra 50$.

If you're talking about a factory built system, don't worry about going from CAS2 to CAS2.5. You'll NEVER notice the difference.
Even running benchmarks will barely show any difference.

Yes your board will detect the SPD data just fine. No. the CAS2 won't have any noticeable impact on performance and it would be $50 wasted.

 

[phantomracoon]

im gonna get the CAS 2 one anyways. It has a better name.

Ok... your money.

o yea, ill be sticking it in dual channel once i get a nforce 4

Only get either of those CAS2 sets if you're going to overclock your processor and memory more than a little bit when you get an NF4. If you're not doing that, or if you're fine with running a divider on heavier overclocks, get two of these Corsair Value Select modules. (You don't need to buy the DC pack--they'll work fine in dual channel if they're two of the same stick.)

Those HyperX 1GB are on sale at outpost.com for 169 or something like that... not sure if theyre the same ones but they have the same specs.

They had those 1GB Corsair Value Select at Fry's yesterday for $99 AR... missed out.

I never knew that pure idiocy could make one rich.

maybe your rich parents need to send you to reform school with the ignorant behavior you show, it's apparent you're just here for amusement and to waste people's time and see if you can get them to take your idiotic questions seriously

What he said

 

[DanDrop]

WTF? If you're so rich, why do you even ask our opinions concerning RAM with only a $50 difference?

We do not really know if you are indeed rich, but we know for certain that you are A COMPLETE MORON.

*mumble*... idiot wanting to buy ram because of the 'color' and it sounds 'cool'...wtf??

 

[Astu222]

maybe we should take the sticks of ram and beat her with them. shes rich, she wont mind if we break the ram on her skull.

 

[KBtn]

hes got a point.

lol I thought rich people bought Dell and Macs

 

[KoolDrew]

If your so rich go waste your money on a Aleinware!

 

[CraigRT]

cas latency makes no difference IMO for what you gain in performance. I wouldn't even spend $20 more.... $10 maybe though!
