    Lower CL is better and 667Mhz is the fastest widely available notebook RAM. The CL4 is important because 667Mhz is 20% faster than 533Mhz but CL5 is also 20% more (slow down) than CL4. With the 667Mhz CL4 you now get the full speed advantage over 533Mhz CL4.

    Answers: Yes; it's the fastest you can use.

    Are you sure that the CL on these 667mhz modules is really 4? Fry's is sometimes known for mislabeling the specs on stuff.

    I checked corsair's webpage and I cannot find anywhere that model number matching those specs. newegg has the same ram kit and they have the CL listed as 5.

    Anyway corsair is a good reputable brand, go for it. :)

    Yea or maybe they would lower the price then a real deal. I suspect EVO is correct, the "value select" line is not the one I would think would have CL4. And the price is low for CL4.

    I'm pretty sure this is CL5 @ 667MHz but CL4 @ 533MHz. Some of the people preparing the website descriptions can't understand the technicalities. Even this site says CL4 and they should know better.

    It's highly unlikely that the budget RAM will be the fastest available.
