Difference between PC2 4200 and PC2 4300 RAM?

What is the main differences? Any advantages on the 4300?
Most listings I found for PC2 4200 and 4300 show identical specifications as far as FSB, voltages and CAS figures but one technical report indicated a particular brand of 4300 supports both CAS 4.0 and 3.0.
A lower CAS figure is a faster performance, but I don't know enough to tell if that alone would account for any price difference. It certainly does in other cases I've read. The lower the CAS rating the higher the price. Also PC2 4200has Bandwidth of 4.2GB/s and PC2 4300 has Bandwidth of 4.3GB/s.

Then a 4200 and a 4300 can be mixed?

There's no difference between 4200 and 4300.

There are some PC2 4300 with 3-3-3-10 latency. Kingston's Hyper seris RAM with Cas Latency 3-3-3-10 kicks ass.

I believe that's regular SDRAM you are talking about. I haven't seen any SODIMM (that are under 150) with cas 3.
