Just look for the lowest timing.

5-5-5-15-2T doesn't seem very fast, but I think it depends on your motherboard what latency you should choose. Corsair C4 and C3 are supposed to be good.

Link doesn't work, and you didn't really give me much information.  I just picked out ram in your budget with the fasted timings.

so the fact that one is 677mhz and the other 533mhz  makes no differnce and the pc4200 and 5300 whats the differnce between that?

The core speeds are far more important than the timing speed or CL's.

You will see little difference with Cas latencys unless you have a really good machine, and only then would you see minimal differences.

so 677 = pc5300 > 533 = pc4200

If you want to understand Cl's and timing and all that shit,

and

and of course, the non-reputable Wiki,

No problem, have fun with 2 gigs, I just 2 some more and my beast boots up in less than 10 seconds from a cold boot.
