The DDR400.. is the latency i guess. 400mhz is the speed of the ram.

Cas Latency 2.5

[TreeHugger]

corsair XMS ram is quite good

 

[mammikoura]

well patriot ram is not bad. Though something like corsairs XMS is better.

And basicly the lower the timings the better. That's all u need to know, if u want to know what each of those numbers mean then use wikipedia.
And CAS (= cas latency = cl) is the 1st number in the timings. Again, if u want to know more use wikipedia.

alright, cool. thanks.

oh, another question. why are certain brands of ram better than others?

 

[Legion Kreinak]

Probably due to better quality or reputation of the manufacturers.

 

[badninja3]

by quality, do u mean they last longer?
