What's this number mean?

[LetsOlympics]

Here's the listing for a couple sticks of RAM:

G.SKILL Value Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model

The MOBO I'm buying matches up with every number (pins, voltage, DDR3 SDRAM, and the other two numbers). I've read what the 1333 refers to, but what does the 10600 reference?

And this doesn't have one of those 5-digit numbers; is it still compatible with the MOBO? every number is the same as the G.Skills listed above:

Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model

Yes, it should still be compatible with your mobo.
