CASS2 or CASS3? Which one for dual socket370?

[BigDady92]

Thinking about buying the dual asus socket 370 board that just came out. I saw reviews for it and saw pricing for memory in today's anandtech article. Now which is better CASS2 or CASS3 @133mhz.

I want to buy 256 mb sticks of it so im not sweating the $40 difference if the performance is that much better.

Any questions, comment, or concerns, are always apprecieated.

CAS2 is faster, but the performance boost probably isn't worth $40, and if you're lucky, you might be able to run the CAS 3 RAM @ CAS 2. That's what I did with one of these 256MB sticks. Works great.

Get CAS2 memory. With prices hitting rock-bottom, I'd say its worth the premium.

so the performance of CASS2 is better than CASS3? Is the RAM that much more stable? performs better? etc.
