in games how much of a difference? I know that 2-2-2 is the best timing and cas 2 is the best latency but how big of a difference would it be? I had my heart set on that second link (no not because of the lights) but I don't want to be sacrificing large amounts of performance

Is CAS2.0 Really all that?
While CAS 2.0 is nice to have it doesnt present a world of performance change, often unnoticeable by end-users without the use of benchmarks and even then its usually a small change (and sure benchmarks are important ... but unless all you plan to do with the machine ever is to run benchmarks day and night....). From Corsair we have a comment:

ok, I see, I must have skipped over that part of ram 101, thank you for pointing it out to me.

also with the first link being a bunch of rams I didn't see a difference in the timings of all of those is why I put that link there.
