Anything here works. If it's too fast (PC2 6400, for example) the mobo will just underclock it.
EDIT: The RAM you linked to would work too, but it's a bit pricey considering considering how relatively little stress it'd be put under. _________________

Ah thanks.
I guess I'll get the cheapest one.
I only plan to use this computer for like another year, so I really don't need any brand name stuff or anything. |

Ugh.
The dude who sold me the computer told me that there were 2x512MB cards inside.
I opened it up. Turns out there was only 1x1GB.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- |

| Why cant you just have a 1gb and 2gb chip inside it? Do pcs still use dual channels? I thought they could run side by side just fine on a new pc. |

Well my mobo can only hold up to 2GB of RAM maximum anyways.
No need to get 3GBs.
Edit - Aw crap. Just put in the RAM stick. Booted up my computer, and the screen just shows lines and stuff on it and static-like things. It works after I pull the stick out though.
Any ideas why this is happening? |

I'm not getting any sounds coming from my computer.
Just that static shows up on my screen. I will stick it in and try again. I'll post results in a bit.
Edit - Alright, I'm back. There are still no beeping sounds from my computer.
The screen starts off with random static lines, and then it went black for a second and then started flashing repeatedly changing from dark green and brown lines to white and light green lines. |
