As you can see the only difference is that #. I have no Idea what that number is, and I wonder If that would justify a 15$ Price increase. Help would be appreciated =y:

Edit: I just noticed more differences between them. The 6400 Says it's CL=6 and DDR-2 800. And the 5300 is CL=5 and DDR-2 667. Again I have no idea what this means.

take it to like a bestbuy or some computer store and ask them out of the two which one is better:p

You should go for DDR3 ram instead. :p

@iKeep, The people at my BB aren't really the most knowledgable bunch.

@FoxkaZ, I'm sort of on a budget of $100, and my laptop can only recognize a maximum of 4g of RAM. All the DDR3 ones Isaw were like 8-16gig ram...

6400 is faster

No need to upgrade a laptop. If you want RAM build a PC.

6400 for sure

the otehr 2 numbers you noticed represent the frequency in Hz, so the one with 800 is faster, so go for the mosre expensive one as its faster m

Put in your computer specs and it tells you what RAM is right for you.

I am assuming you have DDR 2 ram? Get the 6400.
