Which is better RAM A or RAM B

I am wondering if Ram B is too good to be true, it is half the cost what it should be, I say this because it is new.

Thanks for your help

Mark

By the looks of it RAM B looks like SODIMM DDR Ram.

One thing I forgot; RAM A is single sided RAM B is double sided.

No heat spreaders on RAM B. Probably not a good performer.

Judging from the sellers name I would assume RAM B to be a counterfeit Kingston ram produced in China and sold by an agent in Canada.

Then again I might just be stereotyping.

As for the usefulness of heatspreaders on RAM see this article

When I look really close at the RAM B I notice it does infact say "ASSY in China" and I notice that real Kingston Ram would most likely say "ASSY in USA". This could possibly mean that it is fake.
