Help: Upgrading Memory

[MarkW7]

Hi,

I am upgrading my memory in my dell dimension 4400 and i don't really know what type to get.

It can take a max of 1gb which is what i am aiming for, the processor is a pentium 4, 1.80GHz if that matters.

Thanks.

I want to look around a bit tho and my mate might have some. If i am looking i ask for DDR or DDR SDRAM and what PC thing.

I need:

184pin PC2100 DRR SDRAM DIMMs NON-ECC
2x 512mb

 

[MarkW7]

It isn't because thats Dual Channel, should i buy higher RAM and underclock it or just 2100
