memory cas

[smokewarlock]

i have two sticks of 512 geil memory cas 2.5 3 3 6.....i have an abit nfs and want to do dual channel with 2gigs by adding a stick of 1gig ....the problem is that most 1 gigs are cas 3 ....and the 2.5 cas gigs are few or way more expensive...i was wondering would the cas 3 gig work... i have tried loosening my timings to cas 3 but system wont boot....any info would greatly be appreciated
