Rough guess would be DDR Ram mate best check the memory stick you have in there already it should tell you whether it is DDR or SD

Its DDR mate, also you need to check its the right MHZ, for example the exact sticks my pc takes is pc2700 DDR 333MHZ. You need to know all 3 bits of info, get one wrong and it wont work!

You take the stick you already have, out of the PC and look at it - it will tell you on the stick the specifics of what it is. Better still, take the stick with you and ask for an identical stick

Try using the Belarc Advisor - www.belarc.com

It will tell you what type of memory you have, then you'll be armed when buying the upgrade.

Try aria.co.uk, they are pretty cheap, or even novatech.co.uk.

Cheers
