Really quick stupid memory question, please help if you know.

[dwn]

This is a really obvious one I'm sure, but I'm about to shell out about $200 for Mushkin's "128MB Mushkin High Perf REV2 PC133 222", and I'm new to all this CAS2 talk. I want to be sure I get the good stuff.

Does REV2 mean CAS2? I just keep hearing about how CAS2 is REALLY important for overclocking so I wanted to run it by all of you before I risked getting the wrong thing. If I get this, will I have some good CAS2? Or does REV2 mean something else?

And while I'm at it, if anyone has a better place to buy good quality CAS2 that is actually in stock, please let me know.

Thanks,
-D

First off it's not a stupid question. But Rev2 means (most likely) Revision 2 of the PCB. The 222 are the memory timings, the first 2 is CAS the second ahh I don't remember, but PC133 222 memory sounds pretty sweet...

looks like they had pretty good luck with the Corsair Micro CAS (booted at 160Mhz)

IIRC, the 2-2-2 is CAS, RAS, and CAS to RAS.

Mushkin makes kickass memory and you can't go wrong with them. Excellent customer service, quality merchandise, and they don't gouge you on shipping.
