cas latency (RAM)

is there a big difference between 2.5 latency and 2.0? and also what does heat spreader mean

theres a thing called wikipedia for that. and if you can't find it there how about trying google?

but since im sort of nice i'll do it for you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cas_latency

and the second one im not to sure what your talking about. is it heat sink maybe?

Probably something that distributes heat so your RAM won't overheat.

i know what cas latency means i wanted an opinion from someone with experience on whether it is worth it or not to pay the extra $20 for .5 less latency

this is probably not the best place to ask, ask a forum that deals more with computers.

Heat spreaders are exactly what it says- they spread heat which will help your ram temprature if you are overlclocking etc.

I wouldn't spend more money for lower cas as the performance increase is unoticable. Also it will use more voltage as well (for lower timings).

I would spend or add that $20 somewhere else

Get some cold cathodes and LEDs. From the films and fucktards i've met, neons apparently increase horsepower; I can only assume that flashing lights will do the same for your PC.

Don't forget to throw on the "QX9650" sticker you stole from your friend. Also a "Linux Inside" badge. Lawl.

Guys you also need the LEDs on your fans...
Cmon :roll:

oh, and i hope you remember to get a custom paint job, it will make your computer 9000% more awesome

To answer your question, no, I don't think it really matters. Not to a human anyway. I've got CL2 but it doesn't let me play with detailed shadows.

Lower cas - higher overclock-ability... I doubt you would overclock your fsb tho. 2.5 is just fine
