memory module variations

[alex666]

I am thinking of adding a 256 module of some samsung ddr333 pc-2700. I currently have 256 of same in my box. It is the following model number: M368L3223DTL-CB3. NewEgg sells this chip, but lists it in the following manner:

Samsung Original DDR333 PC-2700 256MB CAS2.5 - OEM Version
DDR 333MHz True PC 2700 chip (Not over clock from PC-2100 chip) New release for Best Performance-Lifetime warranty
Model number:
M368L3223CTL-CB3
M368L3223DTL-CB3
M368L3313CTL-CB3
M368L3313DTL-CB3
M368L3223DTM-CB3
Model#: M368L3223DTM-CB300

So, they list the model I now have, but it appears that currently newegg sells Model#: M368L3223DTM-CB300, which is a slightly different model number from what I own. I'm trying to make sense of this. I suppose I could contact newegg, but I don't think they will really know the answer as they do not offer tech support. And I don't want to even think of contacting samsung if I don't have to. Am I likely to have any problems buying their current offering? The price sure is right (35.00). Thanks.

Are the specs the same?

I doubt that you will, it isn't like it is a new model of car....

MJC- as always, thanks for the feedback. I went to the Samsung site and found a listing for the memory module itself, i.e., the "Samsung Original DDR333 PC-2700 256MB CAS2.5", but nothing about the specific sub-models. On the newegg site, all those various sub-model numbers are listed in mass under the general heading. It is not as though each has a different price or anything, rather, they are listed as almost being equivalent, but they don't come out and say so. They are listed with no specificiation as to how they differ. I have read some posts on the newegg site where people complain that the DTL is better than the CTL or vice versa, but I think data is equivocal on this. Just wanting to know if anyone has the true skinny, so to speak, on this. I've been happy with my memory module, and I just don't want to get some slight variation that might conflict with what I already have. I know how minor changes in model numbers reflect significant differences in hardware performance. I'm about to replace my current cpu with a t-bred revision b, and lord knows how careful I had to be to make sure that I got the superior version of the chip, as there are different t-breds (I'm anxiously awaiting my hsf). Anyway, thanks.
