Well if you're looking for DDR2 then PC-xxxx wont work. You'll need PC2-xxxx (that '2' narrows things down quite a bit)

thx praetor
yer your damn right my choices went down and my cost went up
thx 4 help much appreciated

LOL glad to help ... you might consider waiting a bit before you invest (heavily) in DDR2 .. well for a few months at least... DDR2 has some fairly serious latency issues which as kept it back from taking off from DDR

save up some money while you wait...then you can buy better quality ram.
