[MLUG] CAS Latency question

[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I was looking on newegg at a couple of things, and thought I'd ask about two memory sticks real quick.  They're slightly different, one's Corsair, the other is PDP which I've never heard of.  Anyways, the big difference between them is the CAS latency's and the price.  BUT, the CAS latency is so minimally different, that I had to ask whether it's even a big deal on this.  Any thoughts?  Here's the links and the specs:

2-3-2-5-T1

2-2-2-5

Only other difference between them is one memory stick runs at a slightly different voltage and such.  Anyways, what it comes down to is I can't see ANY reason for the Corsair memory to be nearly DOUBLE the price of the other.  It's not all that much faster - just the RAS precharge rate, and that's one bit of difference.  Thoughts anyone?
