I would like to upgrade from 1 to 2GB (I have 2x512 which I'll be removing). I have no idea about latency and timings and voltages etc. According to my mobo manual, it supports:
? Supports single channel (64-bit wide) memory interface
? Two 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets
? Supports up to 2GB memory using PC1600 (DDR200),
PC2100 (DDR266), PC2700 (DDR333) or PC3200 (DDR400)
unbuffered DDR SDRAM DIMM
Note:
If you are installing double rank DDR400 on both DDR 1 and
DDR 2 sockets, the maximum DRAM speed will automatically
be limited to the speed of a DDR333. However, the BIOS
provides the option of manually adjusting the speed to
DDR400 by selecting ?200? in the ?Max Memclock (Mhz)?
field (Advanced Chipset Features submenu) of the BIOS.


I think the products on this page fit the bill, but wanted to double check before purchasing. Any advice? The second one has a nice rebate, and good reviews, but I'm unfamiliar with the brand:

184 Pin 2x1GB

Thanks for the help!

G.Skill 2x1GB DDR400 $55 free shipping no rebates

You missed a deal at frys.com for 2x1GB ddr400 Crucial memory @ $15 after rebate recently. Look around for deals Friday, you might find a steal somewhere. If not, and if you're not in a hurry, just keep an eye out in the hot deals forum here and you'll find a deal sooner or later.

That's the kind of deal I was talking about. 2GB Crucial for $15AR is great. Enjoy!
