    Why do you need more than 1333?

    Unless you're using something like the integrated GPU in Llano which benefits from faster RAM, go with whatever is cheapest. You will not notice the difference between 1333 and 1600, you probably won't even notice the difference from DDR2 to DDR3.

    I'm a musician and predominately a Kontakt user, and given the scope of some of the third-party instruments I use ( Technical Info) and sample playback performance ( Benchmarks for Pro Audio!) I was looking to up my bandwidth - i.e. Audiobro LASS + Cinebrass pro + Hollywood Winds etc. in one project... SATA 6gb/s ssds arent the bottleneck. Some of these projects get pretty huge.

    Memory bandwidth isn't the bottleneck.
