my motherboard M4N68T-M V2. ASUS
Memory want to buy is -Corsair Vengeance 8GB (PC3 12800) ddr3 1600MHz 2 by 4096mb non ecc unbuffered. cl 9-10-9-24
OR
same make, but slightly different (PC3 15000)
1866MHz cl 9-10-9-27
Price per stick about same. Which would be better in Your opinion.
Thank You.
Jack.

the first timing number is the most important, in this case they are both the same, go with the 1866, but you wont see any improvements unless you are benchmarking, another words it doesnt matter, i am running ddr3 2133 and its not much difrence then 1866 ram

Might as well just get the 1600 RAM because that's only an AM3 board. You need an AM3+ board to run 1866 RAM plus you need a Bulldozer CPU (FX4000, FX6000, FX8000 series CPU's)Bulldozer won't run in that board anyways. And 8Gb is the board's limit.
