Which RAM is Compatible for my Asus P8B75-M LX PLUS motherboard with Intel core i3 3210. I have no graphic card right now.

I have 2 options:

1. Corsair DDR3 4 GB(CMV4GX3M1A1600C11)

4 GB (1 x 4 GB) 1600 MHz DDR3 DIMM
Model ID: CMV4GX3M1A1600C11
240-pin
Unbuffered
Memory Frequency: 1600 MHz (Specified)
CAS Latency: 11-11-11-30
Power Specified Voltage 1.5 V

2. Transcend JetRam DDR3 4 GB(JM1600KLN-4G)

4 GB (8 x 256 MB) 1600 MHz DDR3 DIMM
Model ID: JM1600KLN-4G
240-pin
Unbuffered
Burst Length: 4,8
Memory Frequency: 1600 MHz (Test)
Memory Clock: 800 MHz
CAS Latency: 8
Power: Specified Voltage 1.5 V, Test Voltage 1.6 V

Also,what is the difference between Test and Specified memory frequency?
 
Solution
Get the Transcend bar. Cas 8 gives you a bit better performance than cas 11.

As for frequency, DDR means "Double data rate", meaning a 800mhz clock speed ddr bar will run at 800*2 = 1600mhz during normal use.
