CAS Help

[topgun06]

Hi there,

Basically I’ve decided to upgrade from my Dual channel 1GB Geil PC3200 to a 2GB Dual channel kit. I’ve been looking through the memory here at OC and at other online stores and I can’t seem to find memory that suits my needs for anything less than around £150.

But what I’m asking is what difference (if any) would I see between CAS2 and a CAS3 memory in loading times, and in games such as Battlefield 2? I’ve seen many memory sets with CAS3 for my budget.

Ideally I am after a 2GB CAS2 Dual channel PC4000 or better for around £150. Should I be expecting to pay more for this type of memory?

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for the help so far. Im glad the CAS won't make that much of a difference.

Post the rest of your spec for a better Ram match up.

Spec:

GeIL 1GB PC3200 Dual Channel

Ok, so am I right in thinking that this is probably the best buy for me, if i can find it any cheaper elsewhere?
