Cas3 Corsair or Cas2 Crucial

I’m looking at one last upgrade of this old system. I don’t know which one to buy?

Corsair – PC133
32X64 •CL=3 • 168DIMM Unbuffered •Non-parity •7.5ns

Crucial - PC133
32x64 • CL=2 • 168DIMM Unbuffered • Non-parity • 7.5ns • 3.3V

The Corsair is about 10 bucks more and supposed to be the best ram, but the Crucial is CAS 2 and gets rave reviews as well. Is it a clear choice?

For pc133? Get the crucial. Cas2 is awesome for pc133. If you have a huge overclock, you'll probably be able to get close to 150mhz if you set it to cas3 instead.
Get the one with the lower cas latency. I.E. the crucial.

Thats the way I was leaning, just wanted to know if I was missing something.

Thanks
