LMFAO!
not you but the comments.
find out what your motherboard supports, most of them only go to 1600 (highest), and may not support higher ones such as 2000.
Now I have 1330 Mhz with a Cas latency of 7, and I have 7.3 for ram on windows index. It's pretty fast so I assume 1330 would be fine for you.
note: Cas Letency is the amount of time ram used to gather data. The smaller cas latency the better.
for instance, if you had 2 ram cards. 1 with 1330 Mhz and cas latency of 7, and the other with 1600 Mhz with a cas letency of 9. You would want to go with 1330 Mhz one.
Mhz is just amount of power is uses working (usually higher is better, but no in the ram case)
hope I helped

Not really. It depends.

Even if it uses more power, it could be slower than a stick that uses less power.
it depends on the cass letency.

Well you wont notice a difference between a 1600Mhz @ 8-8-8-23 and a 1300 @ 7-7-7-23. And usually that's they type of numbers you see when going between the two
