Hey, I ordered my Dell from the US, but when I went to get RAM from Newegg they wouldn't accept my credit card because it's international. Eeeek. But I think I found some similar RAM on tigerdirect.ca but just wanted to check it would work/is the same as that Transcend ram on Newegg.

Here's the one I want to get:

Kingston 1024MB PC4200 DDR2 533MHz SODIMM Memory
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1428330&CatId=1729
It's only $156 CAN.

And here's the only other choice:

OCZ 1024MB PC4200 DDR2 533MHz SODIMM Memory
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1482949&CatId=0
It's $172 CAN.

Would those both work? Is the OCZ worth the price difference? I thought Kingston ram is pretty good.
