For gaming
Reasonable price
Looking to spend at most $150, but if theres a better bargain I'd really like to know.

Current PC Specs (its a prebuilt Dell)

2gigs of generic Dell/Samsung Ram
2.13GHz Core2 Duo Processor
Some generic Dell mobo with only 1 PCI express 16 slot
and a 8800GT 512MB video card filling that slot
235ish GB Hard Drive
375 WATT Power Supply

Overall I've got to run some pretty nice games on the system I really cant complain with the preformance I've been getting and EVENTUALLY I want to get a new MOBO and Processor but Id like to get some more memory first.

Thanks

I am not sure what Plug N play RAM is. RAM is RAM, unless you want to get into things like ECC RAM, and that is ungodly expensive.

I got a 4 gig kit off of newegg that is Corsair brand for about 150ish just a few weeks ago. DDR2 1033
 
whats the ram type that is currently installed? take it out and look if there is a sticker that tells you ddr or ddr2, and it might say something like pc3200 or pc4200, or if you tell us the model number of your dell we can search the dell database for your specs.

Are you sure? I thought the only boards that supports DDR1 and Core 2 are Via based (possibly SiS as well). I also thought Dell's Intel boards used nvidia or Intel which would most likely have you running PC5300/5400 or 6400
 
It should downclock to 5300 without any problems and it's cheaper. But any of the RAM you linked would be fine as well.
