    Thanks for the reply. I didn't even know Samsung made RAM. Regardless even if they were both samsung parts why such a big price difference?

    Heatspreader maybe one thing.
    Also, look at apples they are higher then all other Windows systems for less specs its the name, features & other seemingly useless things.

    Yeah I don't think heat spreaders will even be worth it. If they are I'm more than willing to buy Geil but as of right now I don't see a point in my case. Thanks again Thomas for the quick replies and help.

    Your welcome,
    Also just sos ya know.
    Samsung makes most RAM any way so, what your paying for really is brand names heatspreaders & tech support & warranty.

    Thanks Thomas. Samsung is honestly my favorite brand name when it comes to electronics (mostly TV's but those are a whole new story) I don't know of any Samsung notebook sellers in the US. Otherwise I probably would buy from them. Thanks for the information, I had no clue they made RAM but now I know. Thanks one more time!
