I'm trying to figure out what type of DDR3 2x2 gb ram to buy for my new system. The CPU is a Phenom II X2 550 BE, and the motherboard is this one:
GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128392
It has a memory compatibility list here:

Now, for about the same price, I can get:
G.SKILL DDR3 1600, cas latency 9, timings 9-9-9-24, 1.8V -- $65
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231193
or e.g.
G.SKILL DDR3 1333, cas latency 8, timings 8-8-8-21, 1.65V -- $65
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231189
Which one should I get? Is there a rule of thumb here to go for the higher clock? Or for the lowest latency? Other concerns?
