CAS latency really that important?

[Spaceman]

is CAS latency really that important? i see very expensive modules out there
with a cas 3 latency, and less expensive ones with a cas 2 latency. so i'm a
bit confused.

Relative to bus speed, not really. Intel CPUs benefit a bit
more from CAS2 than AMD.
