Having a quick browse of the Forum, I've seen people talking about CL values for RAM.
Just out of interest, is there a way to check the current type of RAM in a computer?
I'm going to get myself a new 512 stick, but now that I've seen that CL is a factor, I don't want to buy the wrong type.
Also, are CL values compatible? For example, if my current RAM is CL3, can I get a CL2 and take advantage if it's abilities? Is it worth having different CL type RAM?
Thanks for any help on this.

If you have CL3, you'd have to run the new RAM at the same setting. Running CL3 at Cl2 is likely to result in instability.

If you want to check your RAM and its settings, download CPUz. Great little program, doesn't need installing, it just runs and gives you loads of info about your processor, motherboard, memory, etc.
