Hmm, is that better than http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145579

Yes, that is valueram, use OCZ's Performance brand (timming are better).

Is there a noticeable difference?

I never used valueram, but for 4 extra dollers you get better quality, comes with a heat spreader, timmings are faster and it looks cool, also it is easier to overclock.

memory:

so ill definetly go with this, 2Gigs of this should be perfect. thanks for the advice.

If you insist on 2x1G, get this:

4x512mb is better however.

The timings are exactly the same.

When I looked at Corsair value ram it's usually 3-3-4-8 or 3-4-4-8.

Trust me just get 2x1 it's less risky then getting 4 x 512, and you'll also save 5 bucks on shipping. Also when you use 4 sticks you're forced into 2T timings, instead of 1T.

im gonna stick with 2 1gb sticks, everyone says it will work faster and better with the BIOS, so no 4x512 for me, and i will use the OCZ, definetly better!!!!!!!

Good decision.

1T definetly better, but is there a big difference between the OCZ and the G Skill that are posted on this post?
