how fast is CAS2 comparing to CAS3?

[faye]

is CAS2 that important?

 

[faye]

Is Cas Latency or Chipset more important?

I find a CAS3 with Infineon chipset
and a CAS2 with generic(unknown) chipset

which is more important.
CAS2 will definitely cost $30 or more

Cas 2 is definately a noticeable improvement.

Ill will run the FSB lower just to get cas 2 performance.

firing squad

Look for memory performace part 1 they showed the difference

Depends on what FSB you're using, if you run 133fsb at CAS3, the speed is comparable to running 100fsb at 2-2-2 CAS2, I think 133fsb at cas3 is just a hair faster than 100 Cas2. If you can run 133 at cas2, then go for it!

i decided to run a sandra memory benchmark with 133 cas3 and 100 cas2 and what i found out was there's a significant difference at 133 cas 3, i scored 430/511 as to 390's/410's @ 100 cas 2... for reference my stick is Siemens, the rest of the info is in the sig
