Anybody here installed PC3-10600 DDR3-1333 in T510?

Hi all,
I noticed when ordering a T510 that I could have opted for PC3-10600 instead of PC3-8500. The extra cost was a bit high compared to what I'd pay for RAM on Amazon so I passed. But I'm curious as to whether anyone here has installed the faster RAM and if so, is there any measurable improvement?

Thanks.

Mine came from the factory with the faster 10600 RAM. It doesn't run any faster than the standard 8500, so it's really not worth a premium. I only got it as it was the only way to get 8GB total ram from the factory (they didn't offer 2 x 4GB 8500).
