Alright, I've got a good compilable graphics card, and I'm set for lyfe.

However,

I'm missing one thing.
RAM Memory.
Unfortunately my HP Pavilion 525w runs on a mere 256MB RAM
I need something greater.
I'm not very good with this, soo I'll need a helpful opinion.
I've looked up and I think my motherboard supports DDR, I'm not sure.

I'm looking for a good 1GB RAM Card/Stick,
That is compilable with my motherboard.

My motherboard's specs are as follows:

that pc uses 184 pin modules - my old pc did that and they don't make much of those these days - not as powerful either and the max memory it can hold is 1 gig - so if you have a 256mb card, you may have to replace it with the 1 gig otherwise it could give you problems

OR hp could be just stupid and gave everybody the wrong information lol

here is a cheap and good 1 gig 184 pin ram card: Newegg.com - G.SKILL Value 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231036)

here is another:
Newegg.com - Crucial 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory - OEM (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146545)

if you want to get a 512 mb card, here are a few good ones:
wintec: Newegg.com - WINTEC AMPO 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820161615)

my old laptop had a wintec card, its pretty decent

g.skill: Newegg.com - G.SKILL 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) System Memory - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231029)

g.skill is a little better

all the ones mentioned above should fit your motherboard just fine assuming you got the mobo name correct and info correct :)

good luck!

you don't find ram cards based on whether its a common computer or not, u need it to be compatible with the motherboard and the mobo is a few years old - the "common" ram sick these days are DDR2 240 PIN modules

ok but i believe he asked for help with this issue so instead of saying "you can find it easily" or "find it on ebay" how about you help him out a bit by providing him some info
