    # CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel
    # CPU Family: Intel(R) Celeron(R) D CPU 3.20GHz Model 6, Stepping 4

    i want to know if the following is reliable or compatible, if u could grace me w/ the knowledge :)


    PNY - 2-Pack 1GB PC2-5300 DDR2 Memory

    or if there is a better place to purchase from? (its actually going on my Xmas list, but i still want to keep it under $75 or so, and somewhere that's not going to be a scam.

    thanks :)
