My room mate is looking for some RAM for his 12in PowerBook. It's only got 256 built in, and of course it dogs when he's running Virtual PC and the like . . . He wants 1GB of RAM for it . . . the laptop uses DDR333/PC2700 RAM.

On Newegg, I found some Patriot PC2700 (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-220-111&depa=0)

and some Kingmax PC2700 (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-155-111&depa=0)

I don't know anything about these brands, except that a lot of people buy Kingmax, and that people are starting to by Patriot with TCCD chips (if my memory is serving me well today, though I might be making some of that up).

Are these good brands? I just want him to be well-served by it. As all RAM seems to come with a lifetime guarantee, I guess it won't matter that much, but I'd like not to be responsible for giving him headaches.

Any input is appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Stick with the Patriot. Way better then the Kingmax

Any reasoning behind your claim? I'd like to see hard data or at least hear some personal experience with either.

Thanks
