Are you retiring an older computer? Do you have some extra RAM sitting around? I am looking for some PC3200 memory. I'm interesting in finding a pair of 1G at a really good price, or if I can not find that, a single 512M to pair the other one I have. This is not for me, but for an underprivileged family I am trying to help get the kids ability to use for school work etc. The box they have has a single 512M in, but is running XP, and really has issues with the single 512M when things like Office, etc. run.

Thanks for any help you may have for me.

Good luck I have the same problem. Don't buy until you know it will work in the board. I have found some old boards won't take 1gig sticks.

Read the manual. I think these are the chips that have both low and high density, that's the only part I am unsure of. It is an eMachine.

Doesn't absolutely STINK how much cheaper DDR2 is than DDR? I'm pretty much in the same boat, with a matched pair of 256's dual channel, and having to restart with some regularity because of Windoze memory leaks.

Circuit City was advertising 1GB DDR sticks for $44.99 (straight up, no rebates). Not particularly helpful to me because I still want two of whatever I get, and it might be helpful to you.

Also, last I checked, TigerDirect.com had some good deals on DDR
