Getting an Asus Z71V--config question?

I'm planning on getting an Asus Z71V through Integrated Systems Technologies and I have one question about the RAM configuration: what's the difference between 1 GB DDR2 3200 and 1 GB DDR2 4200? It seems like higher numbered things are usually better (and more expensive) when configuring a computer, but, in this case, both are identically priced. So what's the difference? I plan to use my laptop primarily for gaming...is one better than the other? Thanks for any help provided.

The 4200 is better, and I asked this exact question to Rick@ist. He just said that they are currently the same price, but a price difference my occure later on. So go with the faster one!

My advice is... if both are similarly priced, then get the higher number
It may or may not yield better performance, but it certainly won't perform worse
