    Anyways...the RAM is a toss-up, pretty much whatever is cheapest. Kingston and Corsair are both reputable brands, so whichever you can find cheaper in Malaysia :).

    Thank you for the RAM advise.

    What is the difference between a Corsair PC2700 DDR and a PC667 DD2?

    Which one do i get?

    Ok, the difference is DDR2 versus DDR; DDR2 is faster and better!

    The simple answer is to get DDR2 (PC2-5300/667MHz), but feel free to read through those links for additional information.
