Which should I buy?

OK as you all know, my computer is shitty due to lack of FREAKING RAM! I feel like making a new custom computer but I don't have the budget yet so I'm just gonna buy the RAM.
However, can I ask your opinion (experienced tech people) on which RAM should I buy?

I got the latest price list and these are the prices for RAM

CORSAIR PC1333 D3 4GB RM130
KINGSTON PC1333 D3 4GB RM130
MUSHKIN PC1333 D3 4GB RM128

P.S. RM means Ringgit Malaysia, currency of my country. To convert, go here

Any of the three would do fine IMO. Keep in mind if you have an old PC with an older motherboard, chances are it won't support DDR3 ram.

what damage said, they are all about the same price, so that's not a turning point.

Nabil, you need DDR memory and can only use 2GB's MAX. You're screwed bud. Time to save up and upgrade your PC.
