I have a dell Vostro 410. It comes with 3 GB of memory, two 1 GB sticks and two more 512 sticks. I plan to max it out at 4 GB. In my motherboard book it says, memory type 667-MHz 800-MHz DDR2 SDRAM, as being supported. Assuming the 800 MHz is the fastest ram I can get, would this ram Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory work well in my machine? I plan to leave in the two 1 GB sticks and just take the other 2 512 out. Thanks and sorry for the noob question

Fix the link.

Do you know what speed your current RAM is?

yep link still broken. If you do not know what RAM you have run cup-z to find out.
CPUID

Your RAM will only run as fast as your slowest stick installed.

Would this ram be a better choice? Newegg.com - Kingston 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

Newegg.com - G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

if you dont mind spending the extra money, just replace all of your ram with this stuff.

Thanks a lot, I'll probably go with this. This upgrade will be alot faster than the stock ram that I have?

yep, it will be a lot faster than your current ram.
