Wanted:
I am possibly interested in the following memory (interest is dependent upon price.. hahaha)
32mb module for a Gateway 2000 p5-166 computer. It is a DIMM SDRAM module, I believe 66mhz, CL=2, 32mb, and must by "2-clock" (see definition below).
Please note that this is not standard SDRAM, otherwise, I'd be all set! Also, EDO modules were used in this series as well, but I already have SDRAM, and can't mix.
Drop me a line at regdor1999@hotmail.com
References available on heat "mudoggy"
Thanks!

CL=2, 2-clock
"CL=2" (also written "CL2" or "CAS=2") refers to a module's CAS latency. CAS latency is the amount of time it takes for your memory to respond to a command. It only affects the initial burst of data. Once data starts flowing, latency has no effect.
Latency is measured in terms of clock cycles. A CL=2 part requires two clock cycles to respond, and a CL=3 part requires three clock cycles. Thus, CL=2 parts complete the initial data access a little more quickly than CL=3 parts. However, a clock cycle for a systems with a 100MHz front side bus is only 10 nanoseconds (10 billionths of a second), so you probably won't be able to tell the difference between a CL=2 and a CL=3 part.
A few systems built by Dell and Gateway require a particular type of CL=2 memory known as 2-clock memory. This memory technology is no longer used in modern systems
