OK, what are these CAS Latency and Timings for DDR2 memories.. I'm confused.. Which one should I go with for a E6700 +ASUS P5W DH combination? I see numbers like 4-4-4-12, 5-5-5-15?? I'm guessing lower is better but?? Help!

Lower is better, you are right about that. It's timing in nanoseconds I believe.
As for more specifics, I can't explain that right now. Someone will respond soon enough - or go to www.rojakpot.com
I only answered just so you can go for the lower latency device (in case u wanted to not wait to buy)
Haha thanks mate for the quick reply :D
Lower is better, but right now I'd say the sweet spot for price/perf is 6400-C5, if you're an OC freak then get higher bandwidth modules
I'm running the 6400 C5 at 300 (600DDRII) but at 3-3-3-12-16-2t because it gives me more effective bandwidth.
I don't see how thats true, with the G-Skill HZ at cas3 the bandwidth increase is extremely small.. around 400mb/s at the most and that was at 400MHz.. I get a much larger increase lowering to 4.4.4.12 and increasing the speed. At 458Mhz now and its around 1000mb/s faster then the memory at 400Mhz using cas3.Originally Posted by Meaker

Well im not sure how sandra reports it, if it gives your speed and then how much of that you are uning effectivly or how much of the theoretical your seeing.
