    In tests I did on my MB with a variety of games benchmarks(UT & Quake3) the diff in speed between 5,3,2,2 and 7,3,3,2.5 was the same as a difference of 2-4FSB (at constant CPU speed). So the difference was minor. If you buy Twinmos PC3200 rated at cas 2.5 it will prolly do cas 2 at 200FSB anyway- mine does.

    About 2% faster. It's better to have higher clocked RAM then better Cas timing.
