Late 2006 Macbook - RAM

I've got a Late 2006 Macbook, and currently have 2x1GB, DDR2, 667MHZ, PC2-5300, 200 Pin and i know it can take up to 2x2GB (but only use 3.2GB), and i am just wondering if this RAM is compatible. I have a choice of 2: both seem like they should work but have slight differences. One of them is PC2-5300S (and i have no idea what the 's' stands for). And the second one is PC2-5400. Everything else is the same as my current specifications so i am just wondering if they would work?

- Here is the 'S' one: $T2eC16V,!zoE9s5ne+)NBRoy9tiMjw~~60_12.JPG

- Here is the PC2-5400 one: $T2eC16h,!)EE9s2ui)H0BRo6UBj(W!~~60_12.JPG

Cheers guys!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

I know that ram for these old macbooks can be expensive but I would be very careful about buying used ram. The PC2-5400 ram, from what I read runs at 675mHz, your book requires 667mHz. Thats a recipie for trouble. I would either buy new from Crucial or OWC or if buying used I'd first look for those two brands and make sure that if it didn't work that the seller would refund my money. If you use the wrong or bargain basement brands you'll be back here asking for help troube shooting kernel panics or other problems.
