What is the different between a 512mb kingston ddr 400 CL 3 with a 512mb kingston ddr400 CL 2.5?

I am confused. i have a Gigabyte GA-8IPE775 Pro Intel 865PE chipset. izzit able to take both rame or there is a specific ram dat i cannot use..?

the latency is less on the 2nd one so it should be quicker. You should use ram sticks that have the same CS value.

Does dat mean my motherboard will still work well but not good as the CL2.5 would? Pardon me for my bad english and understanding to ur reply... cheers

Both CL 2.5 and 3 will work. You just have to make sure the RAM is UNBUFFERED and is NON-EEC. If you get 2 RAM sticks they should have the SAME CL value. YOU can get further info from:
