Gateway CX2160 Memory Upgrade

I'm always surprised (even after being in "the game" for 20+ years) at how memory can be so darn confusing.

My laptop (CX2610) uses DDR2, 533Mhz. Simple enough, right? Well, I head on over to NewEgg to buy a memory upgrade and they have 2 flavors of DDR2, 533Mhz, SODIMM... a PC4200 and a PC4300. Since there is only 1 (the Geil) that lists a PC4300, is it safe to assume it is a typo? The model number also seems to indicate PC4300.
 
For what it's worth, the Crucial PC4200/533Mhz from NewEgg worked perfectly in my Gateway CX2610.

I'm surprised this forum gets so little traffic.
