    I suggest you go with the PC2-5300. There won't be a huge difference but the 667MHz will be slightly faster and it may be more beneficial down the road if you keep the RAM for your next laptop. They're pretty much the same price anyways. Brand doesn't matter much. Just buy a decent enough brand at a low price point.
