A while back a purchased a new 512 stick of corsair ram (cmx512-3200c2) to fill up the empty slot in my Asus K8V, hoping the 1.5 gig of ram would help run BF2.
The 2*512 I already had in there was the CMX512-3200LL twinx bundle which are DDR400 CAS2. The new ram I thought I bought was also DDR400 CAS2. Anyway, I tried and tried and the only way I could get the new stick to be CAS2 is to drop it down to DDR333, or alternatively I could run it at DDR400 speeds but only at cas2.5. Eventually I took it out of my pc and err...forgot to get a refund.
My question, would it be better to have 1.5 gig CAS2.5 or 1gig CAS2?
