RAM Kit or not Kit?

Hi, I want to upgrade RAM for my HP DV6500t 2CD T7250 2GHz (2G RAM 667 MHz dual channel) to 4G. I want to ask couple questions regarding with this:
1. Is it better to get 4G RAM kit (2x2Gb) or 2 of 2G separately?
2. If those are the same quality, why Kit is more expensive?

Many thanks

 

The kit is a marketing ploy. There is no difference between buying two sticks separately and two sticks in a kit.

 

It is strange how their marketing works. usually you can get two individual sticks of memory for a couple of dollars less than a kit.

Just buy two separate memory cards, and then you can save money and get the same thing.

What they said...

I was going to upgrade to 3gb, but thought that for an additional $30-40, I could just go to 4gb, use the extra .25gb over 3gb and I plan on moving to 64-bit some day (when Sony gets a little better on their driver support).

Anywho - Fry's had a Crucial 2gb PC-5300 SO-DIMM stick for $42 with a $22 rebate. Great deal for a 1gb upgrade for my 2gb FZ. But, I went ahead and bought 2 to have a matching set. 4gb set for $62, if I get my rebate. So the moral of the story, check both single stick and kit pricing and buy whichever costs the least!

 

There's nothing really magical about getting your ram in a kit. Buy whichever is cheaper. The only thing you may want to keep in mind is that I think it's better to get two identical ram sticks. There can be problems with sticks from different companies, though the chance is probably pretty low.

 

I agree - it is probably not a big deal to mix cuz most memory is made in the same place, but I just feel better having all the same.

 

Thanks for quick reply. I'll go for separate RAM, I thik it will save my money to get same quality.
