SODIMM (Kit of 2) Upgrade

[jimgr]

I have an HP Pavilion dv8321ea Notebook PC and I have concluded on the following 2 kits:

1 ) CORSAIR SO-DIMM DDR2 MAC MEMORY 2GB (2X1GB) PC5300 (667MHZ) DUAL CHANNEL KIT
Latency (CL5(5-5-5-15))
Cost: 30.00 €

2) KINGSTON KHX5300S2LLK2/2G HYPERX SO-DIMM DDR2 2GB (2X1GB) PC5300 667MHZ DUAL CHANNEL KIT
Latency (CL4 (4-4-4-12))
Cost: 40.00 €

Having so small differences in the latency do you believe that the latter
worths the extra 10 euros?

I would appreciate any insightful comments.

Welcome to the forums!

Drooping from CL5 to CL4 will give you absolutely minimal performance gains.
In all likelihood, you would never be able to tell the difference.
Go for the cheaper kit.
