the price for the first is double the price of the second. They seem the same... Are timings involved in this? I haven't heard of any ddr2 533 laptop sticks doing anything more than cas 4...

thx

You are paying extra for the guarantee that it will work in your system.

Yea. I'm running some Corsair Value Select in my laptop. No problems at all.

I am running it with some Kingston memory I believe. That memory cost more than 2x what I paid for the Corsair Value Select. I'd reccomend just trying the value select and seeing what happens.
