|  Very quick question my friends Hey everyone, hope everything is well. I have a quick question about upgrading. This is my current mobo Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-965G-DS3 LGA 775 Intel G965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail and this is the ram I currently have in it Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail I want upgrade by getting 2 sticks of 1 gig. Any suggestions? This is what i have found so far... Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail I'm open to other products too. I was wondering if you guys can tell me what is Cas Latency and whether 4 is worse or better than a 5. Also can you tell me if my mobo can run DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)? I believe the first link has that speed. |

The lower the CAS latency, the faster the ram can send and receive data. So yes....CAS4 is better than CAS5. | |
