Don't forget to check if you have available ram slots and if your motherboard supports that much ram 
RE: ram makes by stoshrocket on 01-01-2006 at 04:24 PM
OK, this is the one i have got.... the website is very good with delivery as well 1GB Crucial RAM (top one)

RE: ram makes by ddunk on 01-01-2006 at 08:42 PM
Check that your motherboard can handle a 1GB stick too. It should be in the RAM section of your Motherboard's manual or possibly on the website.
RE: ram makes by DJKAL on 01-01-2006 at 09:01 PM
here is an EXACT copy of the RAM table of info. in the mother board
maybe it means more to you?!
{sorry about the un-nesacery white space i couldn't see how to crop it in M$ paint!{

Pretty much the same as yours
SLOT Memory Module Total Memory
DIMM 1 [bank 0 & 1] S/D 64MB~1GB
DIMM 2 [bank 2 & 3] S/D 64MB~1GB
RE: ram makes by ddunk on 01-01-2006 at 10:17 PM
Yeah, you're fine with a 1gb stick.

If I took one of the 256mb sticks out and replaced with 512, i'd have 768mb...? I've been told I shouldn't use two different sticks.
Hmmm... Guess i'll have to get two 512mb memory sticks. [1MB Total]

Ok i'll take a look
I don't want to make a new topic so i'll post here...
In the manual it says:
You can install DDR400 (nForce2 400 only)/33/266/200 modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM1~2)
Could someone tell me what this means? I'm thinknig of getting a 1mb memory stick but want one thats compatible with my computer obviously and don't want to buy the wrong one!!

it just means you have 2 DIMM slots for the RAM, that can support the speeds DDR400 ~ 200 stated. You want the fastest one which is DDR400, although it does say '(nForce2 400 only)' which im not too sure about, can someone varify what ive just said, i am pretty sure i am right in saying you can get a DDR400 RAM stick.
