MAke sure your Buying DDR And not ST ram and check that you dont have DDR2 as that can not be matched with DDR

by the way the pc(number) will not make a differnce thats just the speed it runs at. eg if you have a pc2100 and a pc3200 the pc3200 will run at the same speed as the other one witch is pc2100

so then why is there high and low latency DDR400 ram ?

and why does high not work with all chipsets ?

any one ?

hi rico-
check out the crucial website, it has a tool to find the correct memory for your system. guaranteed to be compatible, so you cant go wrong.
we reccomend going with the big names in RAM- crucial, corsair, kingston, etc. these are high quality parts that will last a long time, and not cause problems. the cheap stuff will save you only a few dollars, and can cause all kinds of grief...
I would suggest you get a matched set of RAM, so you can maximize your buss speed, etc. to make the system run as fast as it is designed to!

I recommend Geil ram, it's great memory and a good price too.
