" Good explanation, but how does one know whether one's memory is CAS-2 or
" CAS-3? Besides the obvious, of course, if errors go away with the CAS-3

Is it obvious then?<g>  I don't know how you tell.  My guess would be 
that it's identified on the chips somehow, perhaps as part of the 
part number.  Besides, afaict, most of these chip specs are 
relatively soft (if they weren't, there'd be no overclocking, would 
there:) so if it works at cas2 then...   In my case, I asked my 
vendor and we all know that vendors are well informed and never lie, 
right?

"Gold needs no endorsement. It can be tested with scales and
acids. The recipient of gold does not have to trust the government
stamp upon it, if he does not trust the government that stamped it.
No act of faith is called for when gold is used in payments, and
no compulsion is required." -Benjamin M. Anderson
