You are unlikely to notice any difference at all. The RAM speed is rarely a bottleneck, and when it is the difference in actual speed between those two is relatively small.

IIRC, going from 1333 to 1600 is worthwhile. Beyond that, not so much. Andandtech had an article on it awhile back. Though I think it was for the z68 chipset. As for ram- right now you'll probably see zero benefit going beyond 8gb. Maybe some small benefit going to 16gb in the next couple years.

The only entities on Earth that would notice a difference are benchmarking programs.

Organic beings will not notice the difference..

Almost nothing unless you're either

1) Using the integrated GPU on an AMD A8 or A10 APU
or
2) Needing to feed a lot of cores (more than 4) data doing some sort of video editing
