    Which one is cheaper?
    In the end, both are going to perform about the same, so pick the one that is cheaper.

    The modules should be about the same; go for whichever's cheaper.
    Also, look into Mushkin - they've also begun to ship PC2-5300 CL4 SODIMMs.

    Between the three, I would go with G.Skill over the others.
