    I am just wondering. I cannot play Half Life 2 with my zx5000, so I am going to get a 1 gb stick to upgrade it from 512 mb to 1256 mb. Right now the game bluescreens even before I get to the main menu with the newest HP video drivers. I want dependable RAM that won't break and will be best for gaming. I have read on here and many other places to get either Crucial or Kingston. I can get both for about the same price, so which would you recommend? Thank you for the help!

    If possible, put the 512 where the 256 was and get 1536.

    Anyway, both should work, though I don't know about the zv5k, but with the zv6k but the higher speed only works with Corsair.
