The first (DDR2 PC2-5300 DIMM 667MHZ) is on sale at a store nearby and the second (DDR2 PC5300 DIMM) is online. Is there a difference, and which is best for my iMac?...there is the 2 and the hyphen I'm worried about. Also it looks like the memory for my iMac is the same for my Macbook. Hard to tell from the manuals. Then there is the pin numbers. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Mac OS X (10.5.4),
Macbook 13.3"(early 2008), iMac 2006 Intel 17" (W8)1.8GHZ, iTouch
Hi musashi88: Yes, indeed it is all the same RAM. And yes the MacBook and the iMac use the same RAM, as well as the MacBook Pro. The exception to this is the latest generation of the iMac, it uses PC-5400/800mHz RAM.
