2133 Mhz CL11 if your processor supports it natively.

Otherwise 1866Mhz CL10 as second option.

How much difference are we looking at here? Difference in gaming/booting/Matlab/ C/Java/vPython programming.

It won't be more than 2-5%.

I currently have 1600Mhz memory in my laptop, 1866Mhz chips are lying in my desk and just ordered 2133Mhz memory. I will just return the 1866Mhz memory. Electronics are cheaper in the US btw :p

In short
Gaming: No difference
Programming: Negligible difference
Video Editing/Rendering: Visible small difference
CPU intensive applications: Visible small difference

Spend the money for 2133 MHz memory only if you are into video editing, animation, 3D rendering or any CPU intensive application. Otherwise just go for 1600MHz memory sticks and save the money for GPU.

Are you considering it from the pay standards present there ?

Pani Puri I can see why because it's not popular there. Demand and supply.

A McDonald meal is cheaper than vegetables. The economics of large scale commodity crops, standardization and subsidies keep the price lower.

I used to get processed food for cheap while I was in NZ. It's the fresh vegetables and fruits which were costly.

good quality food is wayyyy more expensive in US/abroad.

on the other hand, junk food like kfc, McD, subway etc are dirt cheap.
