if has 1gb of ram pair of .5gb sticks or 1 1gb stick.

if have 1 1gb stick need 2gb stick

ddr2 pc2-5300 2gb price above of 32 dollars meh should find less.

if machine has pair of .5gb sticks buy 2 2gb sticks , dump both .5gb sticks. model use 3.1 3.3 gb of 4gb. pair of 2gb sticks tiny bit quicker 1gb , 2gb. money wise buying pair 2gb sticks makes sense if machine has .5gb sticks. buying 1 2gb stick makes sense if machine has single 1gb stick in it.


1 more thing since machine open drop hdd in it. scorpio blacks pretty good.
