Take the old sticks to a reputable pooter store.

Get the same type (DDR, DDR2) and speed (333, 666, whatever) as you now have.

Log on to Crucial.com and do a scan of your PC. It will tell you what is available for you.

Right off the bat, I'll say DDR type and 333 speed.

Do NOT put nuttin else in cuz yer MoBo (motherboard# won't accept it.

So, if you have 2 slots #white sticks?# for RAM, the best you can do is 2 sticks of 2 Gigs each for a total of 4 Gigs, but not likely.

You have an oldie, so 2 sticks of 512 Megs #Megabytes# is more likely for a total of 1 Gig. #Gigabyte).

However, ya got a 256 MB stick in there now, so ya might not even have more slots, in that case the best ya kin do is, mebba, 512 Megs or with luck, a 1 Meg stick.

I take that back, the best you can do is buy a new one, fiddle around with clunkers and you will never stop fiddlin' around.
