Latency is the time it takes for the memory devices, after getting a command and address to produce its first data word. CAS latency is the clock cycles between the issuance of the read command and when the data comes out. This is a critical element of speed for PC100/133 memory. DIMMs with CAS latency 2 are faster than DIMMs with CAS latency 3. An 8ns DIMM with CAS latency 2 is faster than a 6ns DIMM with CAS latency 3. A 100 MHz DIMM operating at CAS latency 2 operates at 125 MHz enhancing system performance. A CAS 2 DIMM operates at 15-25% faster depending on system application. It is recommended that P-II & P-III and Athlon chips use CAS 2 DIMMS running at 100 or 133MHZ for extra speed, and crash free operation. CAS 2 DIMMs is an important component in systems where a user is “OVER CLOCKING ” the CPU. The logic board and SPD on CAS 2 DIMM are different than a regular PC-100 CAS 3 latency module. Buy PC133 SDRAMs because they are backward compatible and will work with the existing 100MHz bus as well as the 133MHz bus of the future making the investment worthwhile. |
