Inconsistent Info: The product says the following: Memory Speed: 333MHz DDR2-667/PC2-5300 But the SKU says: # KVR667D2S5/1G....which according to the Kingston is a 667 MHz card...so which is it?

I understand (from reading about DDR2 ram earlier since I'm looking at an upgrade to 2GB) that DDR2 is normally rated at double the speed of the individual chips/modules, since it uses two channels to transmit data from point A to point B. I believe I saw this in a info sheet (PDF) on Kingston's web site. I agree, it's confusing.

Don't know if this will help but all computers have a internal diagnostics that'll tell you what type of memory your computer uses, the max memory capacity, the number of card-slots available, and the speed. In your case you're looking at a 667HHz card. This is perfectly OK but your system speed will be limited by the bios settings and can not exceed your notebooks' 533MHz.I found that simply typing the computer name, model into google pulls up all the manufacturer specifics to your notebook.

Ddr3 sdram is the type of memory and 1600 is the speed/frequency it operates at. 1600 is a good speed. Refer to your motherboard for compatibility.

Hi Robert, "critter number one" gave you the most thorough answer you could probably get. When I bought mine I used Crucial's memory selector to select the Crucial RAM I bought... you can trust its site and the memory selector it employs on the site. That particular 4GB kit included 2- 2 gb 240 pin DDR2 DIMM ELC Unbuffered PC2 RAM to replace some Kingstons that were under-performing. Hope that helps. Dennis

From experience, check the QVLs for both ASUS and Kingston. If it's not listed, then find one that is.

You could always contact Samsung support. I haven't had any dealings with them, hopefully, they're not too problematic to get a hold of.BTW - One thing you might want to be aware of is that the "Class" spec on these memories indicate how fast they are. "Class 10" is the faster one at 10MB/s and although they all look alike, it may cost more. While they should be labeled as such, vendors are not always explicit about pointing this out, so buyer beware - cheaper may or may not be better.

If you're talking about the seller that says 1GB, it is most likely 1GB. When these first came out, they had only 1GB to start with, and you are able to upgrade to a maximum of 2GB (That's what the motherboard supports; Any more than 2GB and it won't be used - With that said, I wouldn't trust the sellers with 4GB ones.) Even if you did buy a 1GB one, upgrading that to 2GB is VERY cheap nowadays, so you don't have to worry.

No idea. Best bet would be to go to Crucial.com and look up your computer. They also have a downloadable utility that will detect what you have and match it with the proper memory. Kingston's web site may also be able to help you.

Please go to Crucial.com and install their tool. They will tell you what ram to use. It is a free utility, and does a wonderful and correct job. It has never given me the incorrect information. This is where everyone should start to select the correct ram. All I did, was gave a critical review of the ram I installed, at the recommendation of this utility. You can't go wrong.

Kingston's website has a very good selector guide. I suggest you use it to confirm the correct memory.

The Crucial site describes the 800mhz as "CL=6" and the 667mhz as "CL=5". CL=5 is faster than CL=6. With that taken into consideration, wouldn't the 667mhz memory be faster than the 800mhz when the FSB is running at 667 mhz?

I put in a Kingston 4gb and it works well. Much faster than 1gb and no freezing issues when running more than one programme etc. it only reads 3gb but it's not a problem at all.

The Memory chip advertised in this listing is a 2GB DDR2 RAM (PC2-6400) that operates at a speed 800MHz. Physically it will fit in your Mac, but may not function since your specific model is designed to work with the RAM that runs at 667MHz. You may find them advertised as PC2-5300 DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM in certain listings. You can also check and verify with the Manufacturer website which is a better authority on the requested information. Hope that helps.

I typically buy Corsair memory and have never had any problems. Kingston is good but usually higher priced.

Yes it will work but your particular model only supports 2GB according to the manufacturer. For the best performance you would be better off installing another 1GB Stick like this one.

I didn't notice the discrepancy in the description when I purchased this, but the RAM I personally received WAS pc3-14900. I actually popped the case open and double checked before responding. Though I would caution that when you see an item on Amazon, you're not always buying from the same seller that others reviewing the same product on the same page purchased from. There are lists on the right where you can find different prices and sellers. The seller I got mine from was called HighSpeed and I got exactly what I ordered. That's not to say at all that any other seller isn't going to give you the right item. Always check their feedback rating. If they have a really good one, chance are that they wouldn't still be doing business if they had been sending people other than what they paid for. I just wanted to clarify so I wasn't speaking for someone I'd never done business with. At least for my one experience with that seller, I was sent what I paid for so I would vouch for them. Hope that helps.

My computer works fine with the original 1gb ram chip so I am wondering if it was the 2gb chip I installed that caused the problem. I originally bought the crucial 800ghz module rather than the 667 as I had read that it would not cause any problems even if the computer could not fully use the 800. The Asus website does not even list this computer, let alone the memory recommendation so I am at a loss. I returned the 800 to Amazon but hate to replace it with the 667 in case that is not the correct memory either. Any suggestions would be helpful.
