Memory Question

[MarineCorps]

I just got a new stick of RAM for christmas, it's PC2700 DDR333(well actually it says KVR333 but I doubt theres a difference), my current memory chip is DDR533 PC2700. Is the new one going to work on my computer?

It looks like it would work. But you may want expert opinion, though

Speaking of memory, which one would be better for the value and performance:

Corsair VS512MB400 512MB DDR400 PC3200 CAS2.5 Value Select Memory Retail
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80098-6
$73.50 US

or

SAMSUNG 512MB PC3200 DDR400 184PIN OEM
http://www4.ncix.com/products/index...UNG3200-512M&manufacture=Samsung&promoid=1022
$77.99.

Mind you, I am going to get most my computer from ncix, so shipping from the 2 different sites may be costly....
I will also be purchasing 2 of whatever 512 I buy.

If you haven't already ordered, get the Corsair.

Well, I was going to buy 2x 512MB of Corsair for around $170 Canadian, but noticed the shipping itself is $60 USD! The shipping of this to other places in the US is around $5. I am getting a mobo, processor, hard drive, etc at NCIX, so I guess I am getting a gig there.

Samsung RAM is good, too. I would choose Corsair, but either way you're getting good quality stuff.

So just whichever is easier really...

DDR333 is DDR 333MHz - it is same as PC2700 ( 2700MB/s bandwidth) in other words, both of stick should be DDR333.

Good. SO I didn't waste time on returning that chip
