The 2133 is definitely better, but would look for a set of 2133 with a tighter CL. CL11 for 2133 is slow, for about $3 more can get same basic in 2133/9

i am still unsure which ram specs listed here best suit my system and tight budget,is the higher number for (Cas Latency)eg is CL11 faster than CL9..?..i could not see any CL11 on the memory support list for my motherboard,excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject,i am inclined to go with the first suggestion from Emerald due to my lack of knowledge

Thank you to everyone who posted advice here,the assistance is much appreciated

No on the CL - at any given freq you want the lowest CL you can get - CL basically telly you how many clock cycles it takes DRAM to perform and action
