| 669913 | 2008-05-17 06:10:00 | What is CL2.5? CL = CAS Latency CAS (Column Address Strobe) en.wikipedia.org To do with memory timings. The reason why some sticks don't like each other because the timings are different and the controller can't run them seperately. Basically when you see memory timings, smaller numbers are better = faster. but for Mhz you want bigger :) Not all RAM runs the same latency at all Frequencies, generally, when you downclock RAM the latency can become smaller, eg: DDR400 may be CL3 but when running it slower at DDR333 it may run at CL2.5 www.imagef1.net.nz (taken from stick of hynix in my sempron) |

| 669914 | 2008-05-22 04:36:00 | If the new stick can run 266mhz @ CL2.5 then very likely it will work. EG: c1com.co.nz Agent (& wratterus, drspy) - I ordered the stick of 512 RAM indicated in the URL above and installed it today. Now have 512 + 128 = 640 Mb RAM and there is a nice increase in performance on the old laptop. Thanks for your help! :thumbs: |
