Help me identify this ram(Bestbuy or CC)

Ok, I bought 2 sticks of ram a couple weeks apart just a little over a month ago and I need to tell which store to return it to because it went bad:

Good stick has a big sticker that says:
6432ZKDXA4G17TWK-OF1
32ZKD STK 4450993
and it has Samsung chips on it.

Bad stick has three separate stickers saying:
DDR 256MB PC2100
0420/01 7.8341
42031400

One stick I bought is a PNY from Bestbuy with a sku# of 4596011 and the other is from Cicuitcity with a model #CDN CD00107


Which is the bad stick? Thanks in advance.



 
Ok man, I did some research. I looked all over PNY's site. I found that they have product numbers like:

6432VHSWM8G09TWK
6432ZESEM4G17T
6432ZESWM4G17TWN

The first 5 characters (and last three in the first example) on the good stick match this pattern. I would say the PNY stick is the good stick.

I don't think they'll know the difference at the store but it's good to be safe. I say take the bad stick back to CC. Hope that helps, even a little. Later.
 
Thanks a ton, I was hoping someone would know this off-hand. I hope I didn't put you to too much trouble.

You certainly earned your nik, thanks again.
