June 12, 201015 yr CAS Latency 7 on the memory? I can't imagine that anyone would suggest a change to your list. Art
June 12, 201015 yr Like Art mentioned, check the CAS number on your ram, 6 is great, 7 is pretty good, 8 is okay, 9 is SLOW. I would recommend CAS6 or CAS7.
June 14, 201015 yr Author Fantastic...thanks a bunch guys....I really appreciate it!That Dominator memory above had a CAS of 8. I am seeing Mushkin Enhanced Redline 6GB 3x2 DDR3 1600...with a CAS of 6....does anyone know anything about this memory? I have heard that Mushkin is good and it has good reviews?.......Ooops...just saw the post in this forum on this memory....so I will add this to my list of parts.Thanks again guys. Randy

So far the memory has been stable and it is fast. I bought it from a recommendation here and not disappointed. Bob.. Bob Prince
