Does the PC number matter?
http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC2-5300-200-Pin-Notebook-CT25664AC667/dp/B000F7QRTG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1463002456&sr=8-4&keywords=DDR2-667+2+g+sodimm The title on that one says it's PC2 5300, the detail says it's PC5400. -- Drew |

As long as it's close, it shouldn't matter.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM#Specification_standards * Some manufacturers label their DDR2 modules as PC2-4300, PC2-5400 or PC2-8600 instead of the respective names suggested by JEDEC. At least one manufacturer has reported this reflects successful testing at a higher-than-standard data rate[6] whilst others simply round up for the name. The PC number is something like a data transfer rate. That's kinda advertising if it's only a slight delta from the standard. In that Amazon description case, it's probably just a typo. HTH. Cheers, Scott. |

I was looking for an explanation of the terms and kept hitting sales pages. -- Drew |

RAM prices rise pretty steeply for stuff that's a few generations old.

Well, to fit mechanically you need SoDIMM (i.e. small outline) modules.
