many thanks for all your advice

If I interpreted those specs correctly, you are using 400MHz and 333MHz DDR? In that case, I have no trouble recommending Corsair's ValueSelect RAM for everyday use, or Corsair's XMS RAM if you want better gaming performance. If you want to replace the current RAM in your PC and have the money, go for 2 x 1GB Corsair XMS DDR400. I did, and the performance is astonishing!

But that is only one option available to you, if you want specifics then we need to know what you use your PC for.
 
Are you sure the system is recognizing both memoery modules? iF you look at the M/B details, it seems to show that it is only detecting 1 of the modules. Maybe move the one in slot three to slot two, and see what it says then.

does this look good now ?
 
Your MB definately wasn't recognising your second stick of RAM... looks fine now though.
 
thanks juggy and codemaster and everybody else who assisted many thanks
