As the topic title, what is the difference? What should I buy? (Both the same price, so that doesn't matter.)

If you're into gaming and like being able to brag about synthetic benchmarks, then get the fastest. In the real world, for web browsing, working in MS Orifice, playing music and videos, etc, just go for the cheapest.
Oh, and if you're adding memory(i.e, keeping some/all of what is already installed), then you'll probably need to run it all at the lowest rated speed. If you already have CAS3 RAM, then buying faster memory won't make a difference, though it should(?) be okay to run it at the slower speed with no ill-effects.
Other thing is if you are adding RAM to existing RAM, buy the same brands and speeds! Don't mis-match! Buying a pair of matched RAM is a good idea.
