    Hello guys, I just ordered a Dell Inspiron 1520 and I'm looking at newegg for a set of 2x2 GB pc5300 ram. Can anyone who have not had any boot up issues or compatibility issues tell me which brand/model you used? I don't want to buy a set of 2x2GB and have boot up issues.
    Thanks alot :)

    I'm looking at a set of these G.Skill since they worked wonders for my comps

    Will there be any compatibility issues with the above?
