Geez.
What the hell has happened to this board? The mods are so mod happy they are deleting Part #'s now!

tgi asked someone to explain the difference between cas 2 and cas 3.
Cas 2 is faster, benchmarks have shown it.
at crucial.com it says:
"CL=2" (also written "CL2" or "CAS=2"
refers to a module's CAS latency. CAS latency is the amount of time it takes for your memory to respond to a command. It only affects the initial burst of data. Once data starts flowing, latency has no effect.
Latency is measured in terms of clock cycles. A CL=2 part requires two clock cycles to respond, and a CL=3 part requires three clock cycles. Thus, CL=2 parts complete the initial data access a little more quickly than CL=3 parts. However, a clock cycle for a systems with a 100MHz front side bus is only 10 nanoseconds (10 billionths of a second), so you probably won't be able to tell the difference between a CL=2 and a CL=3 part.
Most systems will accept either part; however, some systems require one or the other. These requirements are built into our Memory Selector."

Fergus,
Good answer, but don't forget that CAS2 will only show speed benefits over CAS3 ram if you change the appropriate settings in your BIOS. Not to mention that CAS2 ram is inherently more overclockable than CAS3.
The subject is quite lengthy. For all the info you could possibly want on ram performance, check here:

I don't think we need to credit overclockers.com for the crucial price drop info. Credit nightowl and AT. It was posted here on 1/24 Link
We figured out that searching by motherboard or Crucial part number would bring up a price that was less than if you listed it by catagory. Since Crucial is accepting orders at this price it doesn't appear to be a problem with them. They probably dropped their prices and have not synced up their data bases and search logic. Some people even called them up to get a refund due to the price drop.

I am still LMAO 30 minutes after first reading that post. Last time I checked model and part numbers were still allowed or has that policy since then been revised?
Mods - Thanks for the laughs, keep up the good work

I just got the stick of ram although maybe its a little too late for others to benefit, anyway, I don't exactly know what a 4 layer pcb looks like, mine has 8 chips on each side. the markings are hyb39s128800ci - 7.5. so is it good stuff?
Siemens is good at semi-conductor, so "Siemens ram chip" is sure good.
However, a memory module with Siemens chips is whether good or not depends on who does the process of soldering the chip on the module and the quality of the pcb.
