what are CAS settings? help needed - please look!

[plumed]

what the subject says! i'm a total newbie to this OC world, so i would like to know what these settings do? i have a p4 3.06, an asus p4g8x-d, 1gb kingmax pc2700 ram

what is the best cas setting for this setup and how can i determine this? should i flash the tweaked 1004 bios for my mobo from x86-gamer? what does it even do?

i heard that 2-2-2-5 / 2-2-2-6 is a good cas setting, but what does that even mean?

sorry for the abundance of questions, but i'd like to know!
