four5acp Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hi, I use Corsair in all my computers so naturally when I bought my wife a new notebook I immediatley ordered an additional stick of corsair to max it out. I looked up in the memory configuration on the corsair site and the results came up as either CMSS256MB-266SOD or CMSS256MB-333SOD. I promptly ordered the later from newegg. When I got the ram and opened it to install it, I jotted down the information on the sticker and on the back side. On the front the sticker says: CMSS256MB-333SOD 0515088-1 COR310850 But on the back it says: Value Select VS32M8-6 PS1300515B I ordered the System Select memory which is more expensive and the one recommended from corsair for the notebook. Why is value select on the back of the memory and not system select. Thank you to any one that can answer this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Sounds like a mislabel somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
