I have a telecommunications box with custom firmware that is specified to use a Crucial SODIMM memory part with the spec 256MB, non-parity, PC133, 3.3 volts, and CAS Latency = 3. Crucial no longer makes the part, and the replacement is identical in all respects except that CAS Latency = 2.
Can someone explain in what circumstances might the CAS Latency = 2 part not substitute well for the CAS Latency = 3 part?
