    In theory, 1200mhz is faster, but you will not notice a visible difference between the two unless you run benchmarks. PC6400 is fast enough for 95% of people.

    If you're planning on some extreme overclocking, dropping multipliers and hitting some high FSB's, then go with the faster RAM. But, for mild overclocking (<3.4ghz usually), just get the PC6400.
