DDR3 10666C7 vs 12800C9

I was thinking of buying this memory :

as it seems very good value for C7 latency. How does this perform compared to 'regular' 12800(1600MHz)C9, which is similarly priced?

I am trying to find a H67 mobo that supports 1600MHz, but no luck so far, so I may be stuck with the C7(1333MHz) option. It would be nice to know how they compare, as I might upgrade to a P67 mobo if there is a significant performance boost.

"No H67 board supports 1600MHz."

Looks like I'm stuck with 1333MHz, as I intend to use a S-series (low power) CPU, and want IGP until I can afford a decent GPU (at least 58xx or 460).

Thanks a lot, that has enlightened me considerably. But the bottom line is I'm stuck with 1333MHz if I go H67 (which I almost certainly will for the IGP, unless I win the lottery). Still, no harm in getting faster RAM in case I do upgrade later.
