CL refers to the cas latency of the RAM which has to do with how fast data
can be transferred/read/written to the ram.
Info he http://www.corsairmemory.com/main/trg-cas.html
Basically the lower the number on the ram the better, but the more
expensive.

CAS tells how fast your box accesses to colume. Unless you want to squeeze
last performance out of memory, like for 3d gaming, the difference
shouldn't be noticeble.
nah not that much..
