RAM and Core 2 Duo

I heard that with Core 2 Duo, the Cas latency of RAM does not matter.

In other words, whether the RAM is 4-4-4-12, 5-5-5-12 or 5-5-5-15, it will all be the same with Core 2 Duo ?

If that is so, then what is the advantage of getting one stick of RAM instead of another ? I know that DDR2-667 will have no advantage over DDR2-800 unless you plan on overclocking, but besides that ?
 
Lower latency timings are always better, Core 2 Duos hide latency fairly well so better timings make less difference but the difference is still there.
