cheers for that Jura!

Its saying that my RAM type is DDR2, is that all I need to go on?

DDR2 RAM is still cheaper than DDR1,but expensive than DDR3

Just post here what motherboard you have on your PC and from this almost everyone will tell you what best memory will be for you?

I assume you are running Core2Duo

there should be a "type" that is good for your motherboard. it should give a number

Ant

do this, it will even show you the price once it's scanned what you need

Done, from reading Crucial I see that windows XP can only run 3GB of RAM and i'm already running 2GB is it worth my while as I only use it for the Internet and playing the odd bit of music through?

You should be OK with 2GB RAM on XP and difference between the 2GB and 3GB is not massive
