CAS2 memory problem

[Metaltimmy]

finally got me some of that corsair cas2 150 Mhz overclocking mem, but there is a problem :
if I change the latency in my bios from 3 to 2 the pc hangs, nothing can be done !
On cas 3 everything works fine, I'm sure it is CAS2 mem so what is the problem ?
(yes, I tried it with 4-way dram interleaving on and off --> same thing )
please help

someone bought this before,
and found out the spd is even written at
pc66 cas2
pc100 cas3
pc133 cas3

it even can't run cas2 at pc100, so what can you expect?

So what do you mean ?
I finally buy that expensive memory (from Corsair) CAS 2 150 Mhz, and it won't run at CAS2 ??!!

Maybe test it in another machine at CAS2. Memory are not that hard to take over to a friend's place to test out anway. Could also try backing down that OC on your CPU and try again at CAS2. Failing that I think you can take it back as it didn't work as advertised!!

I never bothered with cas 2 timings because i always buy the cheapest ram possible.

Last night I said what the hell, the worst that can happen is I lock up or get some instability.

Well, no problems what so ever. My Q3 bench went from 80 fps to 87 fps! a 9% increase :Q

I run 2 sticks 128 pc-133 @112 fsb, one I bought off of some web site for $25 bucks, the other I got free with a Harddrive I bought. Go figure.....
