What memory?

[NickM]

Ok I'm sure you get loads of these threads but I have no idea what type of memory I should get or how to find out what type I need?
I currently have 2gb and want another 2gb, where do I start and what do I buy?
Cheers

Thanks, CPU-Z tells me I'm running a Foxconn 965X7AA FAB1.2 and the memory is DDR2 333MHz, 2 slots used, 2 free. Strangely enough I've just found the email with the spec from when I bought it and it says 2GB DDR2 RAM, 667 MHz , does that mean CPU-Z is picking it up wrong or is it under performing? Does higher MHz = Higher performance or what?

Ah right, thanks for the info

Also looking to get 4gb for my laptop, its a Dell XPS M1330, the official Dell stuff is £60 and has these specs:

Memory Speed : 667MHz
Package_Type : 200-pin SODIMM
Technology : DDR2 SDRAM
Data Integrity Check : Non-ECC

Would this stuff from OcUK at half the price be just as good?

Thanks again guys!

Is the Corsair memory as good as the Crucial, as OcUK still seem to be out of stock?
