    Good question, on desktop its the faster, and the higher version of kingston ram, however on laptops, it seems to look the same (specs wise). So i m not quite sure either

    Laptop wise it's not the same?? I have hyperX RAM and it's 4-4-4-12 latency, as opposed to 5-5-5-15. It might just be a marketing ploy, but it's allegedly faster than normal RAM.

    is it ddr2 667? cause at ddr2 800 only has 5-5-5-18 latency, and the ddr2 667 has it at 4-4-4-12.

    My apologies as I didn't know about the distinction. Yes, it's 667.

    I can use this RAM in another laptop right? No such thing as "Mac-only" memory right?

    Just wanted to make sure, before I buy because it is a good deal...

    Oh, and thanks for finding such a good deal

    As long as your laptop takes DDR2 so-dimm modules, it should work just fine. Since Mac uses Intel hardware, "Mac-only" memory is a gimmick. I usually recommend going for the cheapest with lifetime warranty.

    FYI, Newegg has 2GB DDR2 for like 23$, so search some sites for some deals.

    lol...i am used to this thread, it was the one I used some time ago when looking up ram deals, I think its an excellent thread...

    Now....I found two deals:
    http://www.frys.com/product/5175606?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
    (Cheapest I have found in a long time, but I guess everybody jumped on it and there is no online delivery, and I cannot find it in Atlanta store pickup either.)...Might help some of you if you can find a store that has it in your area.

    The second "deal" is more expensive, but it is still at least 10 dollars less than anywhere else I looked: (39 dollars no tax and shipped)

    but he's totally right. 4 months ago I bought 2gb DDR3 for 23$ with shipping. now you can't get for less then 40$.
    correct me if I'm wrong. but I've seen an increase in the price.
