Couldn't find any good comparison charts, so I came to ask.

I don't know what the performance difference between RAM speeds are, and it makes choosing a kit difficult. I'm deciding between 1866MHz, and 2133MHz. I'm willing to spend the extra money, but I don't want to waste if if I will see no performance gain whatsoever.

Here are the two I'm considering:

and

Thanks!

Those seem to be 16 GB RAM units, which is most likely a LOT more than you'll ever need, most people don't even need 8 GB, so seeing how I don't think there will be any difference and that they are both 16 GB I would go for the cheaper one and save $90.00
