Im still looking into buying more memory for my system (in the past ive just bought new sticks and installed without thinking about it).. but now im reading about latency, and voltage, and all sorts of numbers here and there.. im looking to buy 1 stick of 1gb pc2100 memory.. ive figured out my other memory in my system is 2.5 cs.. and voltage is the same as well.. but ive also seen people talking about 2-3-3 or whatever.. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! are those cs values for each memory slot? am i over thinking the whole process, and should i just buy any decent brand memory and get it over with? and if anyone could suggest any sort of memory with a link thatd be helpful too, or suggest where to buy them...thanks for the help!!

ddr ram is 2.5volts compared to sdram that is 3.3volts but they look somewhat different from ddr ram. also they are slower than ddr as highest speed is 133

ok, but what does it means when people are talking about 2-3-3 configurations?

The latency or CAS speed is the speed at which the memory can process. CAS 2 is faster than 2.5, 3.0 etc. The more mem per stick, usually are slower, as the electrons have to go a longer distance to travel, hence slower speeds/higher CAS. I.e, 1gig stick will have a higher latency/CAS than a half gig stick.

I think!!

CAS 2 is a decent speed.
