So, what you're saying is if you plan on overclocking your CPU, you should
buy brand name memory, so it will work ok when you bump the FSB?
I can't see any valid reason why you would need CL2 capable modules unless
you're overclocking your CPU. CL2 vs. CL3 will give you *maybe* 1% better
performance on a non-overclocked CPU, which you'll never notice.
