I'm trying to decide between Corsair XMS 3000C2 and XMS 3200.
3000 = CAS2
3200 = CAS2.5

The price difference between the two is insignificant ( $2.00 ).

Which should I get?

Thanks...

Heh 2.00. . . What are you aiming for? I think the PC3200 is a better buy. It's most likely systems @ 200fsb CAS2.5 will score higher than 184fsb CAS2, I've seen benchmarks before.

Welcome to the forums, and nice name.

yeah... get the 3200 = CAS2.5.... CAS2.5 enables you to overclock higher i think.

That's because the timings are slower. I would say 3200, because they prolly cherry pick for their best ram offering.

According the Corsair guys, the XMS3000 CAS2 and the XMS3200 and physically the same modules. So get the one that is cheaper.
