All enthusiasts know how important RAM is to system performance, but the bewildering array of RAM types on the market today makes buying RAM a challenge. SDRAM, EDO DRAM, Fast Page DRAM, RDRAM, and a myriad of other RAM types face the upgrader or the new buyer. The wide variety of RAM flavors coupled with the fact that RAM isn't quite as glamorous as CPUs or video cards makes RAM one of the least understood parts of a system. Quite often, people know the main differences between an Athlon and a PIII, or between the GeForce and the ATI Rage. When it comes to RAM, however, most people would be stumped if you asked them to explain the difference between CAS 2 and CAS 3.
