I used this in my last computer:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145440

Therye not the best for overclocking, but I dont overclock. They performed very nicley with no problems.

Try to get two sticks of 512mb instead of one stick of 1024mb. That way you can utilize dual channel.

So if i get 2 512mb sticks using my dual channel, it would be alot faster then just a 1gig stick? Whats the speed for thoughs ram? Im looking for the same speed as the 1gig stick.

Yes I believe that 2 sticks of 512 will run faster than a stick of 1 gig....

yes 2 sticks of 512 dual channel will run better than 1 stick of a Gig.

but if u want to utilize that dual channel, you will have to take out the 512 u already have.
