    Hi Matt yes they both would work i would go for this one:

    Is there a chance of you buying a factory sealed one? because i still advice you not 2 buy this unless its factory seald.

    Its so fast delivery and there site is second to none, it find the memory you want without no fuss and order process is very good to.

    I've used that site before very good. There is a scanner of there site which scan you pc and tells you what memory is compatible with your system.

    yes it is BUT as your ram stick you use atm is 400Mhz and if you keep using that with the new sticks it will not work @ 533Mhz it will work @ 400Mhz because they all need to work at the same speed for e.g

    If your pc has PC3200 400Mhz
    and you buy PC3200 533MHZ

    Your and you use both sticks your new ram will work @ 400MHZ because both sitks need to operate the same speed.

    MATT!!

    Please listen to my advise and BUY new !!FACTORY SEALED!!

    PS! You NEED to make sure your mother board support 1Gb ram most likly it will you need to make sure or it wont work. If you dont understand how you give me your Make/Model of your Motherboard and ill glady check it out for you!
