Hey guys, none of you probably remember me but I remember you guys being very helpful answering my questions when I was building my new computer. Anyways I've been looking to upgrade my memory since I got the computer (1 gig ain't enough for me). With all the differences in brands, voltages, speeds, etc I'm worried I will buy some ram that will be a poor choice or at the very worst not even be compatible with my current memory.
I currently have this ram. Cosair XMS2, DDR2 800, 1.9Voltage, timing 5-5-5-15. (I'm not sure what the last two mean).
Anyways, on newegg I saw two different packages of ram, both Cosair XMS2, DDR2 800. One is a fairly cheaper than the other but after rebates they come out to be almost the same. I noticed their voltages and timings are different, but I have no idea how that would affect my computer. I'd prefer to stay with the same brand (Cosair XMS2) because the current ram I have seems reliable and getting ram from a different brand would probably complicate things more. That doesn't mean that I will refuse to look at any other types of ram, so feel free to give me suggestions. I'm not looking to OC my ram btw.
RAM One
RAM Two
