NB: I want to buy a 1TB Samsung HD103SJ
Also considering SSD at a maximum of $125US

I live in Trinidad and ddr2 ram is getting more and more difficult to buy but I need to upgrade from Kingston 2gb (2x1gb) to 4gb (2x2gb) and i want it before Christmas thus importing is a serious risk as a result I have the following local options

1. OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2RPR10664GK $550TT = $86US

This kit has a 30 day return policy then I have manufacturer warranty I have to organize on my own I believe

4. Patriot DDR2 4GB KIT PC2-6400 800MHZ 5-5-5-12 $707TT = $110US
