    Every time I look at 533MHz laptop memory I get confused... what's the difference between PC4200 and PC4300? I know some Asus laptops come with 533MHz ram, but if I were to upgrade, which would be the right one to buy, or does it not matter?

    I'm not really sure what PC4300 is...
    I just know that if you're to upgrade your "533 MHz" RAM, it should be PC-4200.

    On newegg, there's an option to search for PC-4300, 533MHz ram. I've never heard of it either, so I thought i'd ask.

    some manufacturer's use 4300 instead of 4200, they're the same thing tho i think. just stay on the safe side and use 4200.
