Which CAS latency for AM3 board

I plan to buy a Phenom II X3 7200 CPU with a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P motherboard. Of course, this is not an i7 board and it offers dual channel instead of triple channel memory, even if memory is DDR3. So, is it worth paying more for lower CAS latency. Kingston KVR 1333 DDR3 with CAS 9 would cost $85 (CAN), OCZ Reaper 1333 DDR3 with CAS 6 would be $125. Is the OCZ worth the difference on this board? Oops! On its site, OCZ says: "Important Note: Due to the size and orientation of the heatsink, Reaper X memory cannot be installed on motherboards that require the modules to be inserted in sockets side by side." http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ ocz_pc3_10666_reaperx_hpc_enhanced_bandwidth As far as I know, memory must be paired on dual channel architectures and the banks are side by side. What does OCZ mean exactly? |
