I highly recommend the the two 1333Mhz Dimms. I mean for $44.00 8GB of RAM? It's a no brainer. Rember is also a great 3rd party front end app for memtest.

Some other people said to avoid it as they had problems with this upgrade. But it has been flawless for me. No problems at all. I agree with RAM at this price there really is no reason not to upgrade. I took advantage of this offer, and I’m glad I did. Some other people said to avoid it as they had problems with this upgrade.
