lol save some bucks and go for the 1600 one.
if you manage to get the fsb up to 1600 it's good news.
generally going for faster ram is better anyway because there is more memory bandwidth. supposing you have a dual core the 1600 one is good enough to keep the chip flooded with bandwidth

You know, lower CAS is better... So I see no point getting slower RAM with higher timings..

he said higher speed ram with higher timings
if a system actually uses that bandwidth it is better than the lower cas memory
but since i think even i7 cpus don't take advantage of super high bandwidth
in his case a lower cas and freq memory is to be preferred =)

Gooosh. How can I be this blind? But yeah, no point going higher than 1600, propably not even with a i7, let alone a S775 CPU. BTW, I'm curious. Which RAM goes 1600 CL6?

well i found only one kit for i7 able to pull off 6-7-6@[email protected].

even so dual channel DDR3-1600 cas8 has the same bandwidth as if you were running tri channel DDR3-1333 cas8 or was it cas 7. well in either case the tri kit will have more bandwidth since it is using the other 64bit lane in the other channel.
