Will this matter?
Posted by ~*Eternity*~ on June 12th, 2004


Hi everyone,
I am considering purchasing this memory for my computer:
http://makeashorterlink.com/?K2BC32B88

I have one question, however. I noticed that it is a CL=3. The stick in my
computer now is a CL=2. Will this matter? And can someone explain what the
difference is?

Here is info on my sytem:

Compaq Presario 5310US
1200MHz Intel Celeron Processor
1.20 GHz
256MB
And here is what the Compaq site has for specs on the memory:
256MB 133 MHz SyncDRAM, 2 Total DIMM Slots Upgradeable to 512MB (SyncDRAM
DIMM required)

Thanks
Robin

It won't make much difference.

more question....
Should I also update the BIOS before installing the new memory? It hasn't
been done since I have had the computer and the BIOS version is from 2001.
Thanks
Robin

No. Unless the motherboard manufacturer has told you that you need to, leave
well enough alone. It is one of the most risky things you can do. Do you
have something specific that isn't working that you think may be fixed by an
upgraded BIOS?
