this

this

Should i buy the cheap one? i mean is there actually any difference? or should i buy a complete different type?

I would choose CRUCIAL every time but thats just personal preference, the Kingston ram looks OK but Ive never used it, I would stay clear of unbranded ram as you could be asking for trouble.

Go with either the Kingston or the crucial. Honestly I would suggest the Kingston. These are just better quality brands. By buying a higher quality brand it normally assures you a great stick of RAM and better life out of it. Do not buy the ebuyer RAM. You are only spending a couple more bucks for quality.

Crucial is the best choice because they are a direct distributor of Micron (a leader in manufacturing high performance memory). Because of that relationship, Crucial RAM modules are of high quality status, compatible, stable, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
