QVL memory (newbie question)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

Hi, I have a P4P800 SE

After checking the QVL it looks like there are about 10 or
so types of memory that come in size 512MB and can work
safely in 4-slots simultaneously.

Just to show a few:

512MB Winbond W9451GCDB-5 Winbond DS W942508CH-5

512MB Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512 hynix DS HY5DU56822BT-D43

512MB MICRON MT16VDDT6464AG-40BC4 MICRON DS MT46V32M8TG-5BC

Now my question is, how do I find it? I've gone to
newegg, pricewatch, etc... but I can't ever seem to
match any of these product codes with a specific item.

I guess, I'm supposed to translate something like:
"W9451GCDB-5" into the over-the-counter name for the
same memory listed in the QVL but I'm not sure how
to do that.

Take the last one for example:

512MB MICRON MT16VDDT6464AG-40BC4 MICRON DS MT46V32M8TG-5BC

Is it safe to assume that any memory listed as

"MICRON DDR 400 memory in a 512MB" stick is what I am looking for?

Thanks in advance for helping.
