any help woud be much aprreicated
 
Ok, I looked at your MB specs and see you are limited to 2Gig and all sticks must be identical. So the SyncMAX SM256R368A - 653 256MB/8 sticks should work but can't be combined with your old memory. 🙂
 
Not only can't you have 2 sticks of 256 mb and 2 sticks of 64 mb but, the sticks you do have must be the same model as well as Manufacturer. In other words, you could not have a 256 mb stick from SyncMAX and a 256 mb stick from Corsair. Check out your model specs on the HP site.
 
To be honest, Rambus is way too expensive, you would in the long run be best off selling what you have and looking into a new system. Not only will finding compatible Ram be difficult, but the cost will far out way the worth to you.

For Rambus (similar to old style Simm) They must be installed in matching pairs. You can have a pair of 256mb and a pair of 64mb, but you need to at least match the specifications on those.

By the way, it has nothing to do with HP, its just the pitiful design that Intel started their P4 line off with.

If you are finding this Ram very cheap, I would be very careful about it, as it they might have compatibility issues or not be functional.
 
Long time since I built one with RD ram, but as I remember, you needed matching sticks only in the banks. the 2 banks could have different configurations.
 
The only motherboard you could find that supports that another type of Ram is SDram, and that is not exactly as cheap as DDR is for example. That is why I mentioned it is a better investment to sell the one you have and get a new one 🙂
