Well in all honesty, you can't feel a difference in 3-3-3-8 ram vs 2-2-2-5 ram, unless you are running benchmarks. The gain's are very minimal, maybe 1-2fps at most for actuall real time gaming. I know this because I have memory that can run 2-2-2-5 (2x 512mb sticks) and some memory I sometime's swap out for that can't run below 3-3-3-8 (2x 1gb sticks)

For two 1gig sticks with low cas latency the cheapest you can get it for is 194 dollars
