You also get better stability with a higher CAS Latency at the sacrifice of alittle speed

yeah thats generally why you'll see a CPU-Z screenshot of someone who has a nice high OC but when they go to the MEMORY section they have timings like 2-3-2-11 lol its so they can gain stability from the memory.

Yes exactly and also why the top vendors like OCZ and GEiL and their fastest OC memories at 2.5 or 3 CL
