i believe the 2400 c10 is faster due to the titer timings. Im sure 8pack will correct me if im wrong

In real world applications (gaming and such like) you won't notice a difference.

I have 16GB of the 2400 Trident X stuff on it's way tomorrow as it's meant to be fantastic ram

My understanding is that RAM speed and timings above the default don't make a useable amount of difference (other than benchmarking), bang for buck your better to spend your money on other limiting factors, cpu, gpu, ssd perhaps...unless money is no object for you.
