I bought 128mb PC-133 Spectek memory. Does anyone know if Spectek is any good? I can boot at 133Mhz CAS-2 or CAS-3. Does that mean it is CAS-2 memory? How do i Know?

Well if it can do cas 2 at 133 then is is ok, never mind the rating.. I am running no brand pc 133 memory at cas2@146mhz. Just try what it can do :)

It doesn't nessecarily mean you have cas 2 mem, I'm 99%sure it's cas 3, because cas 2 costs a LOT more than cas 3 mem, from 50%more to a lot more. You have PC133 mem, so there should be a sticker on it with an information number on it. It looks something like xxxx-xxx-xxx-Y were Y is it says 2 or 3, this is CAS latency. It could also be xxxx-xxx-xxx-YYY. Just see.

If it runs fine in CAS 2, no blue screens in windows or hangups, just run it that way (=overclocked! yes!). Increases system performance as you know.
