Like this, say, would DDR1600 C9 be better than DDR1333 C8?

I usually buy the lowest timings I can afford.. I never realized that before. I'm not sure of why I do that.

As an example, it would seem like the tope one should be a-lot faster memory.... But would what I have now (crucial ballistix) be faster since it's CAS8???
