Hi, I am probably getting 1gb of ram and I found this g. skill stuff for $98. My question is, what is the difference between these two models?

They seem the same to me. Same module size (512mb), same cas(2-3-3-6), same brand, look the same. Why the $40 difference. They do have different model numbers, (gbla and gbzx). Do they use a different type of ram chips or something? Is the more expensive stuff tccd or something. Thanks for your input.

Edit: There's also this
Is it better? It's higher cas(2.5) but it's pc 4400, and it's tccd.
 
No idea. if you zoom in on the chips, the numbering on the chips looks like the same on both. Can't say for sure though since it gets kinda blurry. It isn't the same picture either, as the model corresponds correctly too. Only difference I can see is that the cheaper one is in stock!
 
My bad, I should have realized that it was 512(I guess I saw that and thought 512x2, even though it's 512 total.) So would the cas 2.5 tccd pc 4400 run faster than the pc3200 cas 2?
 
Depends if your board can handle it, or if you're going to overclock it. going from 2.5 to 2 only gives a few % increase in performance if i remember correctly. So if you're going to OC a lot, i'd go with 4400. If you're not at all, stick with the 3200.
