Try the crucial site if you want to make sure what you have, and what your board supports.

His everest report showed ddr2 533mhz.

So ill be better off going with the one you picked out?

Here is the results
* Maximum Memory Capacity: 4194304 MB
* Currently Installed Memory: 1536 MB
* Available Memory Slots: 1
* Number of Banks: 4
* Dual Channel Support: N.A.
* CPU Manufacturer: AuthenticAMD
* CPU Family: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ Model 15, Stepping 2
* CPU Speed: 2204 MHz

Remember its for the new motherboard

Oh right, well, if you want to keep your current RAM then the new stuff will have to be the same speed anyway.

In short, you would be better off with the one I linked to, because you wouldn't be able to get the full speed out of the one you linked to, and you may get an unstable system.

If you wanted to get faster RAM with your new mobo, you could get this, but it obviously costs more. You could sell your current RAM though, if you did want to get that one.

If i could sell my current RAM by the time of this i would.

Do you think i could put most of the difference to it by selling the RAM i have?

Well, there's a lot of 1GB sets/sticks of PC2 4200 on eBay right now, and they're not really selling for a decent price. I just suggested it because when I get new hardware I usually sell the old stuff to get some money back from it

I suppose you'd be best off getting the 1GB 4200 from ebuyer then IMO anyway.
