top right hand corner of this site walks you through exactly what memory you needed by asking a few simple questions. good luck.

if it was a laptop or a desktop..... ahem?

Crucial is a decent source and pretty accurate.

But what model computer do you have? Speed / current memory?

Kahlon is pretty decent too.

you really need to check your hardware compatibility list (HCL) you dont want to get something and have it not work.

matching memory is important as well if you are running dual channel.

sorry it took so long john, i have a dell dimension 4500, and i only have 256.

Give it 1 gig ..

I Gig is probably the max on those...

Go to cruciual and order the memory is probably the safest bet.
