my MB Manuf. says the board supports these mem modules:

G - SKILL F3 - 17000CL9Q - 16GBZH 2133 OK
Kingston KHX2133C11D3T1K2/16GX 2133 OK
KINGSTON KHX21C11T1BK2/8X 2133 OK
KIN GSTON KHX21C11T1BK2/16X 2133 OK
G.SKILL F3 - 2133C9Q - 32GZH 2133 OK
Kingston KHX21C11T3FK8/64X 2133 OK
CORSAIR CMZ8GX3M2A2133C11R 2133 OK
CORSAIR CMD16GX3M2A2133C9 2133 OK
CORSAIR CMY8GX3M2A2133C11R 2133 OK
Team TLD38G2133HC11ABK 2133 OK
Transcend TX2133KLN - 8GK 2133 OK
ADATA AX3U2133W4G10 - DR 2133 OK
ADA TA AX3U2133W8G10 - DR 2133 OK


As I look for memory modules, some models are close but not exactly the same.
for example:

G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C10D-16GSR

What is the difference between the listed module (F3 - 2133C9Q),
and the one that I can actually buy? (F3-2133C10D)
And will that affect the ability for my MB to use it?

Admirable
that just means that's what they tested, and no that won't dictate what modules it can use.

Tell us what motherboard you have, what country you are in and some happy member here will make a recommendation based on their know how that will work fine.

Was looking at either of the the 2x 8g Gskill packs . one is cas 9 (F3-2133C9D) and the other is cas 10 (F3-2133C10D)
idk if i'd notice the diff. or if it's worth the $20 price diff.
