found these on ebay not sure weather to go for these

Komputerbay
4GB 2x 2GB DDR2 PC2 8500 1066Mhz 240 Pin DIMM 4 GB KIT - comes with Heat Spreader for extra Cooling

what you think guys?

Shouldn't post competitor links bud.

Personally I'd go for this because you're on DDR2:

EDIT: You'll pay a little more for what I linked but it's a trusted brand unlike this "KomputerBay" thing... Just saying it seems a bit likely to die to me! I could be wrong.

Just edit them out of your post and put the written down details in, should be alright then.

Someone else may give you a different opinion, just wait and see but personally I would go for the xms2 like I said

Whilst it could be taking the chance, for an unknown brand it seems quite expensive at £41, if you take the chance and it's good, then that's great. If not... It's just an expensive paperweight.

You're welcome

Just wondering, why did you choose to purchase an older motherboard instead of a newer one which is capable of DDR3?
