I need to upgrade my Dell Pc 4550 Fsb 533mhz purchased Jan 2003 with
an extra 1 GB RAM (256Ram installed currently)

and my Packard Bell Laptop R 8750 12 months old by 1 GB RAM too
(512Ram installed currently)

Is buying from Ebay worth it could I wreck my Pc by installing
substand memory thats assuming I am sold Counterfeits or Fakes which I
am told have poor quality rating?

The seller on ebay has 100% feedback and is a powerseller.

I realise I will not have a 12 month gaurantee if I buy on ebay too.

I would never purchase computer components from eBay, particularly RAM.
Trying to save money by purchasing bargain RAM is stupid, as is
purchasing RAM from any place where you don't have a replacement
guarantee. If you don't want to purchase from Crucial - who normally
have very good and competitive prices for memory - you can look around
locally or use another reputable online seller such as NewEgg or
someone based in your country. RAM is a component where you should
never skimp on quality.
