but I also found this:

is there any difference apart from the price? and what would you recommend?
cheers.

p.s. I am not familiar with all the numbers and jargon on memory.
PC specs:
AMD Athlon 3000+
Ambit NF7-M Motherboard
anything else you need? |
IK,
The QED link is for 2 x 512Mb DIMMs but the Crucial link is for a single 1Mb DIMM. I would recommend using multiple sticks of memory, just in case one goes faulty
If you look at
http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/MPar...SPN=CT6464Z40B 2 x Crucial 512Mb DDR400 DIMMs are cheaper than the QED Kingston deal.
Alternatively I would recommend GEIL memory, such as :
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Product...608&GroupID=57 (2 x 512Mb sticks with Heat Spreader - faster than the Crucial memory - and actually cheaper than Crucial before postage!)
(Probably available on other sites as well)
