Where to buy the ram?

I've decided on the Samsung PC3500 ram as it's supposed to be a quality part, nice CAS, and is good for overclocking. Should I buy it from http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...-221-002&depa=0 or http://www.komusa.com/samsung.html? I think they're the same ram, but I'm not positive. I trust newegg as a company more, as that's where I'm buying all my parts for convenience, and it's only $4 for newegg.

Is it the same ram though? Looks different but should it perform the same?
 
Yeah, but is it the same exact ram? If it is I'm going with newegg, but they do look different and newegg doesn't really give all of the info.
 
Your newegg link didn't work for me and I see nothing higher than 256meg sticks of samsung at newegg. Seems like a good pick but I can't find it to compare.
 
As far as who I'd buy from I'd say newegg, but as far as which sticks look better, I'd say KOMUSA as they give a copper heat spreader and are a bit cheaper. Seems like the same stuff to me only thing is newegg doesn't mention dual channel operation, you have a gaurantee with the stuff from komusa. If you have AMD, dual channel isn't something to freak out about, if you get it, good, if not, oh well. But if you have an Intel board (or are using onboard video with either), then I would definitely go with the gaurantee that dual-channel would work. Good luck to you with either pick!
