    So, looking to upgrade to 8gbs (for bf3 amongst other things) and have been out of the loop in terms of hardware lately. What's a timelineX 4820TG owners best option? Everything I'm finding has a cas latency of 7-7-7-20 or 18, depending on the brand.

    Well I suppose you could go for hyper-X 1600mhz which will downclock to 1066mhz 6-6-6-21, but it's a bit overkill for a tiny gain.

    Yeah, I guess I don't have much of a choice. Pretty disappointing but I guess it will have to do.

    Don't worry, the latencies wont make much of a difference.
