CAS level

[ISD]

Can you mix CL 2 and 3 together? Do you have to set anything up in the BIOS or just leave at "SPD" setting? I have a ASUS A7V133 mobo. Thanks

Yes, Cas2 and cas3 can be mixed, but will only run at the lower CL (Cas Latency) of the lowest one. For instance, if someone has a stick of PC133 Cas 2 that will run upto maybe 160 mhz, and a stick of cas3 that will run upto maybe 140 mhz..the highest you can use will of course be 140 mhz or less.

there are a few other things that enter into this, but that is the quick and easy explaination.

Ya gotta love the Crucial FAQ (http://support.crucial.com/scripts/crucial.exe/faq) http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

I think the 2nd link is supposed to be this one though;
What is the performance difference between CL2 and CL3? (http://support.crucial.com/scripts/crucial.exe/solution?11=000724-0010&130=000964475444&14=&2715=&15=&2716=&57=search&58=&2900=&25=6&3=cl2)

ISD, you'll probably have to do nothing to your BIOS setting, especially if they are on the "auto" settings.
