If the sets are the same frequency the the 9-9-9-27 set is far better, the first number of the base timing, here the 9 is the CL or CAS Latency and tells you how many clock cycles it takes to perform and action - always want to have a good combo of freq and CL for best performance i.e. high performance DRAM would equate to the following combos

1600/7 1866/8 2133/9 2400/10 2666/11

also done want combos that have a higher CL than the below 1600/9 1866/9-10 2133/10 2400/11 2666/12

Between 9 and 11 prob not if all you do is email and single action task, if you multi-task (have numerous windows open or are a gamer, will prob notice, could affect FPS, slightly slower with the higher CL moreso with memory centric games


What about the difference between 9-10-9-28 and 9-11-11-31 ?

With the same speed, such as 2133 Mhz and same amount of GB.
