First doesn't work because you have a space between http:// and www 
Do better and grab some Mushkin or g.Skill Gotta love a nice lifetime warranty with quick RMAing ^^ |

I have never tried g skill or mushkin. I hear they are good modules. Corsair has alway been flawless for me and i kind of stuck with them. They also have a lifetime warranty and advanced RMA service, Of coarse i haven't had to use there service yet, since i have never had not even a hicup with any of there memory. So i can only speak of there warranty from what iv'e read. |

Cas Latency 5
Timing 5-5-5-15
I might be wrong but are these specs kinda bad?
What ever happen to getting Memory with a Cas Latency of somewhere near 3? |

That is DDR, not DDR2. For DDR2 depending on the chip, the timings can be tightened. For advertised CAS 4, you are going to pay a little more for the tightened timings. With DDR3 you are going to see CAS 7, 8, and 9.
But unless you bench or something along those lines(overclock, etc.), I see no reason why you would bother trying to look for something specific towards lower. |

I haven't seen cas 2 since ddr400/pc3200. Ddr 3 is around this 8-8-8-24 . I am not sure if these number even matters anymore. |

Shows you how much I know. I am still using PC3200 on both my PCs. I don't need or should I say, see any reason to build another PC until Red Faction Guerrilla(RF3) comes out. Nothing out there today interests me...except women. 
Yes and I am still using an AGP graphics (nVidia 6400card) too. 
It runs Red Faction & Unreal Tournament 2004 GREAT. 
It does/did well with UT3 but I couldn't really get into that game. The vehicles are too hard to control.

hm I doubt your PC does THAT well on UT3.
It may run 30fps at peaks but that's about it. And it's not really that cool to play on lowest and avg 20fps.
I play it on max 1680(of course) and the fps never goes under the fps cap which is around 75 or so. Gives a completely different experience compared to slow PCs. (it was badly playable on a ATI x1650 Athlon 3000+) |

Oohh, this looks like a perfect opportunity to introduce my new computer 
I picked up 8G of OCZ Reaper ram for pretty cheap, the motherboard is an EVGA 790i DigitalFTW, the cpu cooler is a Coolermaster V8. I still have the old GTX280 vid cards, the Intel Q9550 cpu, 2 RaptorX's in raid, and the PC Power 1KW PSU.
My new ram has timings of 7 at 1600mhz which is fairly low for air cooled. |

Nitro ,is that some kind of enclosure over both of your video cards? Also what is that at the bottom of your case? Your memory looks so tiny next to all the big hardware |

If I'm looking at it right it's just a side mount that can house some fans. |

It's a hinged cover that has a rear exhaust to direct the vid card air out the back. On the bottom of the case is the power supply and another big fan enclosed in a box. The intake to the case comes from the bottom and is filtered before going past that fan. Those are big honkin' sticks of memory with coolers on them too
Click to see the original image, this one is all stretched outa contortion. Maybe someone will be nice and format it for me |

Damn amper, all you could have done as well was to just post the link this way to get them to see the picture:

See now they can see it non-compress on a different page.  |
