So much RAM, which to get?

[teiresias]

I'm looking at the Crucial listings for RAM and there are so many different varieties and stuff. Which should I get and what should I be looking for? Is CL=2 meaning CAS 2? Is CAS better when its higher or lower? What about the RAM timing? Ugh, soo confusing, any help? I just wanted to buy one measly DIMM of 128MB for crying out loud 🙂 Thanks.

cas2 pc133
cas3 pc133
both are unbuffered, non-parity 168pin sdram, not 184 ddr
unless you know that you need registered, ecc ram get one of the above

Lower is better and faster.

Cas or CL 2 is better than Cas 3 ram
