memory

[velocci]

Hi, when i look at memory, a spec i see is something like 2-2-2-5. what is this?
are high numbers better than low numbers? and what is CL? i see CL values of 2, 2.5, 3. is higher better? I'm getting the ASUS A8N32-SLI delux and i'm trying to figure out which DDR400 memory to get from Corsair. any recomendations?

Lower timings are faster.

If you're not going to overclock almost any of the PC3200 would be fine. Cheap is okay.

Nice Mobo! If I could pick out any board on the market at this point in time that would be it... AS for RAM, as Calvin said, it all depends on if you are going to be overclocking with your new rig. If yes, get some higher end, CL2 RAM, if you're not everclocking just get the ValueSElect RAM.
