We would need to know the timings of the ram as well but the difference may only be a few FPS.

If the steps are in linesya 2400/11 and 1600/8, probably about 10 or so FPS, could be more or less depending on the individual game, if way out of step maybe more or maybe less - i.e. looking at slow 1600/11 and fast 2400/10 then more for the 2400, but going 1600/7and 2400/12 then less of a gain if any at 2400 (and again, depends on the game

You definitely want DDR3-2400, the real gain is in minimum FPS. The two kits aren't really a comparison, other than price. Why pay the same or higher price for a lower speed?

Warranty & Support come to mind real quick.

I havent had ram fail in a while but my last king.... brand rma was an awful experience while my last crucial experience was awesome.
'I'm sorry our ram failed, we are out of the 4gb sticks so I'll mail you an 8gb one to replace it'
me - that would be great but I run dual channel, I need the 4
'thats not a problem, I'll send you two 8gb sticks then.'

Yeah, I'll pay a bit more for service like that any day!

edit - Just want to be clear that I'm not knocking Gskill, I've never had their ram fail to know how their support is.
