im not going to bash on kingston...but i just really think the "hyper-X" line was kinda flimsy. lots of people had trouble running it at its CAS-2 timings, and some sticks didnt overclock well. but then some people had tremendous luck with it and are very happy with it. so really its just what brand you want. what other brand were you considering (the 2GB kit) i think another gig of ram will do wonders more than the Hyper-X kit, even if it has looser timings. oh about the name, RAM's run on timings, best being 2-2-2-11 or 2-2-2-5 in most cases. the first # is called CAS which is what kingston displays as CAS-2. there memory is rated at a pretty fast speed. the other #'s im not going to explain. let me find you a webpage that explains it 10000000X better than i could lol.
