    I found these two companies and which one to go with --
    Looking for 4GB (2 x 2G) DDR2 200-pin PC2-5300/667mHz.

    Probably will go with newegg but wondering if it matter on the firm?

    If speed and latency are the same I would go with the cheapest. Both should come with lifetime warranty and RAM either works or doesn't so not too much to worry about.

    Either is quite fine. Let price determine your buy.

    Lower price one, but I would be leaning onto the Patriot side
