CL 2 ram compared to CL2.5?

[OptimusRhyme]

Ok, I'm sure this has been discussed a lot before hand, but i couldnt find a thread just discussing it, so i thought id bring it up.

How much of a difference is there between ram rated at CL2 compared to CL2.5? I'm about to buy 1 Gig of ram, and well, i'd like to get something that runs well. I don't plan to overclock, but then again, it's not completely out of the question.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Very little speed differences. If you want the fasted computer possible, get CL2. If you want a value system, CL2.5 is sufficient.
