RAM Upgrade Question - New iMac 27 Inch

Does it have to be 1333mhz? what if it's 1600mhz DDR3 memory like this one .. also does it mean higher the mhz the faster the ram?

I would get the 1333mhz one. In the MacBook Pro, they use 1333 but 1600 was compatible with it. However, I would recommend sticking with a 1333mhz memory set mainly because it honestly doesn't even make a BIG deal.

If it's cheaper. Fine.

Yes the number is the speed but it will fall back to 1333mhz, if you are buying Kingston ram, I would buy this KTA-MB1333/4G two of these will give 8gb with the 4 already installed you'll have 12gb. the hyper X will do nothing for you but cost more.
