RAM modules with different latencies

[morebutter]

i've seen ram modules with different latencies-2-2-2-5, 2-3-2-5 etc. the low latency ram modules are marketed as being good for gaming--would these also make a difference with digital audio?

i assume yes but has anyone noticed or measured differences?

Yes it is better i have 2 gb ocz platinum on 2:3:2:5 and it works a lot better than on 3:3:3:7.You need to watch it and let the motherboard decide...works best for me.

a brief from wiki on this:

Comparing between clock speeds gets trickier. CAS Latency only specifies the delay between the request and the first bit. The clock speed specifies the latency between bits. Thus, when reading bursts of data, a higher clock speed can be faster in practice, even with a worse CAS Latency.

For example, consider a 133 MHz CL3 device (7.5 ns per cycle, 3 cycles request latency) versus a 100 MHz CL2 device (10.0 ns per cycle, 2 cycles request latency). The first bit would be available after 22.5 ns (7.5 ns * 3) on the CL3 device and after 20.0 ns (10.0 ns * 2) on the CL2 device, demonstrating the benefit of a lower CAS latency. However when reading a burst of even 4 bits, the higher clock speed wins: 45.0 ns (7.5 * 3 latency + 7.5 * 3 bits after the first) versus 50.0 ns (10.0 * 2 latency + 10.0 * 3 bits after the first).

also bear in mind, is it DDR or DDR2, what speed is the memory? what speed is the FSB?
