    CAS latency refers to the delay time for memory modules to access a new row of data, measured in clock cycles. A lower CAS latency number means faster access times. While manufacturers advertise lower CAS latencies as improvements, the real performance difference between CAS2 and CAS3 is small for most users. CAS latency is calculated by dividing the column access time by the clock cycle time and rounding up to the nearest whole number.

    CAS : What is it all about ?

    If You are a serious buyer of memory ,there are many facts which you need to look into ?
    Quality ,manufacturer , configuration details etc .Another fact ,which many
    manufacturers
    Talk about , is CAS latency .
    Latency is very important if you are a power user & RAM manufacturer are quite
    upbeat about the terms CAS Latency , CAS , & CAS & does advertise about them with
    great enthusiasm .
    They make it sound like CAS2 is a huge improvement over CAS3 . Is it mainly
    hype ? For that matter , what is CAS ?
    Simply put , CAS Latency is a number that refers to the ratio – rounded to the next
    higher whole number – between column access time & the clock cycle time .
    It is derived from dividing the column access time by the clock frequency , &
    raising the result to the next whole number . This formula is :
    CL >= tCAC / tCLK
    Where :

    * CL is CAS Latency.
    * tCAC is Column Access Time .
    * tCLK is Length of Clock Cycle .
