Your motherboard will dictate what speed and how much memory you can have, so if you have the spec of that it would help

That Crucial site looks pretty good. Cheers

Small hijack. Looking up ram for my pc it lists 1.35v and 1.5v. Does it matter which one I choose?

This is the memory speed your mother board supports

Dual Channel DDR2 memory technology
- 2 x DDR2 DIMM slots
- Supports DDR2 1066/800/667/533* non-ECC, un-buffered memory
- Max. capacity of system memory: 8GB**

*DDR2 533 is supported with FSB 533 CPU.

**Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® XP and Windows® Vista™. For Windows® XP 64-bit and Windows® Vista™ 64-bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

1.34v is newer, more emergy efficient. Makes no difference other than that.
