Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

I just got an MPC500 but I'm realizing that the 16MB RAM is just way too limiting. So I'm currently looking at 128MB memory expansions and coming up with the following, which I could get for under $20:

and these, which come out to at least $100:

Obviously I want to go with the one I could get much cheaper. But is there some significant quality difference or something that I should be aware of? Or some other reason it'd be more worth it to get the more expensive one?

Also, about how easy is it to install the upgrade?

Thanks.

I bought the one from Buy.com, DID NOT WORK, I also bought one from Sealevel systems (PRICEY) did not work.

I am still looking for one that works as without it the MPC is a NO-GO for me.
