    Hi!! I would like to buy a pack of 2 2gb ram sticks to upgrade my SZ650N and found some really cheap ram :
    TOPRAM DDR2 Memory 200Pin PC2-5300
    Are these good enough?
    Thank you.

    i've never heard of topram, but i've had good luck with adata, micron, pny, and crucial. i wouldn't go with the cheapest you can find, but with a brand you know and trust. newegg.com has pretty good prices on all the above mentioned brands.

    You may well find TOPRAM to be OK. Most of the world's RAM chips comes out of a limited number of foundries and is then given different labels. Up till now, I buy the cheapest I can find and haven't had problems. Will the supplier give a refund if you have problems?

    Yes, they will change it for another brand for free if anything occurs.
    Thank you, your post comforted me, I think I'll buy these...
