cas 2 or 3?

[jam57]

Hi people,I have been runnig a 64 mb stick of micro 8e cas 2 (4x16) and just bought more ram this stick is siemens 64 mb 8 c,(8x8) single sided module. I thought the siemens might be cas 3, so I set my memory to cas 3 in my bios,it seems my machine has slowed down so i reset it to cas 2. All seems o.k. but still seems sluggish. can i damage the new stick runnig at cas 2? my specs:
Abit BX6-R2
p-3 450
viper v550 AGP
and the two sticks of different memory
sorry for the long post. Jim.

Running the memory at CAS 2 won't hurt it, but it may lead to stability issues. If you aren't suffering crashes or random errors, you should be ok.

I have 512 mb in mine now and it is all siemens and its cas 2 not 3

I'm refering to the fact that the unknown stick might actually be cas 3, but may run at cas 2 if no problems seem to exist.
