Yea couple sources say that mobo uses the pc2 5300 (667mhz) ram type.

Here's a filtered newegg search to look for deals.. might be able to save 10 bucks or so going with a 2 pack of 2gb versus 2 singles etc.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007611%20600006098&IsNodeId=1&name=DDR2%20667%20%28PC2%205300%29

Edit://

Keep in mind with a 32bit operating system, you will be limited on the amount of physically available ram the operating system can utilize.

With that intel cpu you might see a small extension from PAE however at minimum you will only be able to access around 3gb of memory.. however i've seen system report up to 3.75 gb of available memory.

If you do end up increasing the ram above 3gb I would recommend to reinstall with a 64bit win7.. will save you some ram and a lot more polished than vista.. and you'll be able to access that 4gb :)

He probably already has 64-bit since his computer is pre-built so it probably shipped with it.

TehHawk, you can check your OS's instruction set by going to Start > Right click on Computer > Properties.

He pirated his OS and, in order to make it seem legit, gave it an Alienware OEM.

That's my guess.

Yeah, just get a 64 bit version of your OS. It will do you good in the long run.
