Hi lads, hopefully someone can give me a bit of advice.
I have a Quad Core Q6600 machine with 2gb ram (2 x 1gb). A while back I tried to up the memory to 3gb and I bought a stick of 1gb PC3200 CL3 184 - Pin DIMM.
When I tried to install it my system wouldn't boot. I now want to up the RAM to 4gb so would anyone be able to tell me what is the correct RAM I should be looking for?

My system from "my computer" is showing up as having 2gb RAM but ideally would I need to move one of these and then get another stick of the PC3200 RAM to install as a pair?
