    Congrats Hollywood!

    Good for you.Finally you listened to my suggestion! :)

    I know OCZ works at CAS 2.5 at DDR400 speed.
    Only thing you can improve easily is upgrading hdd(if you have not or you already have a 5400RPM drive).

    All those timing lower the better( check lostcircuits.com for detailed explanation).

    But CAS is more important than all those( ofcourse frequency is important as well, but CAS is right after Frequency).
