RAM comparison
hi i am looking at two seemingly similar memory sticks:
1) (Model: CGM2X2G800 G) http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8724847&st=corsair+memory&lp=2&type=product&cp=1&id=1200703058743
2) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184&nm_mc=OTC-RSS&cm_mmc=OTC-RSS-_-Desktop%20Memory-_-Corsair%20(XMS%20Series)-_-N82E16820145184
can someone tell me why the huge price discrepancy? how are they different technically? and lastly, i have a HP Pavillion 1630n that uses this: Memory (DDR2-800MHz Dual Channel SDRAM), can either one of the above RAM be used in this computer? thanks.

You should just save the money and buy the DDR2-533MHz as per the RAM manufacturer's website (www.corsair.com).
