Ram upgrade

[SpringWater]

So, I know that my pc has 2 ram slots and it supports up to 4gb of 667/800mhz ram, but does it matter what manufacturer it is, or does it not matter as long as it fits these requirements? (by the way, it's not the pc in my signature)

Doesnt really matter as long as its the right spec.

Okay, that's good, I was worried that I'll have to go for some certain brand, which would probably be super-expensive.

DDR2 is going to be more expensive than DDR3 (RAM gets more expensive as it gets older), but yeah, any brand should work so long as it's the right spec.

It is more expensive, 4gb will cost me ~$40 so thankfully it's not too bad...

relatively cheap upgrade to put more time on a system...

Here's a random example of a ram stick, my question is what is the part I highlited? And does it matter as well? cause I have no clue what type of this thing my pc has... CenDyne 2GB DDR2 RAM 667MHz PC2-5300 240-Pin DIMM

PC2-5300 = DDR2 677Mhz
PC2-6400 = DDR2 800Mhz etc.

You need to get DDR2 677MHz if you're going to upgrade to more RAM.

DDR2 677Mhz, do you mean 667Mhz

 

[MyCattMaxx]

Yup, it is 667. we both made typos.

 

[SpringWater]

Typos... gotta watch out for them

 

[MyCattMaxx]

How much ram are you looking for?

The pc has 2gb 667 mhz and I want to upgrade it to 4gb 667 mhz.
