As seen on one of the banner ads here on the forums.

This is the lowest I think I've seen a 16GB (2x8GB) kit go for yet. True, it's only 1333 memory, and most people probably want 1600 for IB, but the 1600 kits are CAS 10, not CAS 9, from what I've seen.

Anyways, this is fairly cheap way to get 32GB of RAM for your SB/IB platform.

Note that Windows 7 Home Premium is limited to 16GB of RAM, so if you get two kits of these, you'll need to shell out for Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate.

Nice. I imagine it runs in XMP mode?

Yeah, GSKill's product page claims these are "XMP Ready".

CAS latency doesn't impact most programs and even raw speed beyond 1333MHz has limited effect in gaming and not that much effect in other programs.
