    I noticed a few options here:
    Kingston Technology HyperX 16 GB Kit (4x4 GB Modules) Quad Channel Kit 1600MHz CL 9 DDR3 OR
    Kingston Technology HyperX 8 GB Kit (2x4 GB Modules) Dual Channel Kit 1600MHz CL 9 DDR3 OR
    Kingston HyperX 8GB Kit (2x4GB Modules) 2133MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL11 OR
    Kingston HyperX 16GB Kit (4x4GB Modules) 2133MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL11 4

    1. What is a class (i.e. CL 7, 8, 9, 11)?
    2. Does memory speed matter at all?
    3. What do they mean when they said "latency"?

    Didn't notice I posted in the wrong section.

    Edited again: I suppose they are totally different forum. Thus I have changed my questions above to make it general while posting another thread there.
