    Any PC2-5400 667MHz SODIMM modules will do. I use OCZ and have no problems.

    PC5300 is fine. Its the same as PC5400, only PC5400 costs more because its a marketing scam with numbers.

    Where are you planning to buy them from? Maybe we can link you to the right product.

    heh didnt realize its a scam...but yeah 5300 and 5400 are pretty much interchangeable. And ram prices never made sense to me...you can buy pc-6400 for cheaper than pc-5300/5400. And for all intents and purposes they make no difference which you use.
