RAM Upgrade

Need to upgrade an ancient Acer Aspire 4745 - 433G32Mnks. Its currently running a 2GB Hynix (HMT125S6TFR8C) and a 1GB Elpida (EBJ10UE8BDS0) which are both PC3 10600S.

 

If I want to upgrade, which one would be a better choice?

 

1. Kingston 4GB DDR3 1333 Mhz (KVR13S9S8/4, PC3 10600),

2. Team Elite 4GB DDR3 1333 BUS (PC3 10660),

 

Or, are ther other better options? Mainly I'm confused about PC3 10600S, 10600, 10666 and 10660.

Would it be a problem if I use one of these instead of a 10600S?

I would go for the Kingston ram. Bigger, more trustworthy company and you can really lose with them. Just from what I know anyway.

Kingston all the way. They make amazing storage and RAM.

I concur, Kingston. kingston, samsung, gskill, corsair are very reliable brands. but Many brands either use samsung or kingston chips in their ram, I'm simplifying of course but kingston being the makers of the chips is a very reliable brand.

Kingston does not make chips. They buy chips (or wafers of chips) from SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron, and then make memory modules from those chips.
