PC3200 RAM Latency
Thanks, that makes sense. Who'd of thought you can get superior RAM at Costco at competive prices? 🙂
numark said:I don't know what the last three numbers symbolize, but if I remember correctly, the first 2 numbers (30 and 25) symbolize the CAS latency of the chips. The 30 for the Apple OEM RAM has CAS 3.0, whereas the Simpletech RAM has 25, meaning CAS 2.5. Generally, the lower the CAS latency, the faster the RAM performs. However, since all RAM in a system can only run at the greatest latency, everything in your system will run at 3.0.
