You have to be more specific and the type of RAM you currently have and what RAM your motherboard supports. 
Without any other information I would just tell you to get RAM that has a case latency of 2 or less.  |

Did you build the PC yourself or was it store bought. Usually when it's store bought, the specs are available on their web site. Well I know they are for HPs.  |

| Quoting NoClanFrank | Sorry for the delay in posting this, the phone rang. LOL 
Why do I find that funny? |
I had a phone call the other day, most unusual:
caller: Hello!
Hapa Hanu: Duuuuuuh, waaaaazup?
caller: This is an appliace survey, do you have a minute?
Hapa Hanu: Duuuuuuh, OK...
caller: Do you have a refrigerator and is it running?
Hapa Hanu: Yah.
caller: You better run after it and catch it!
phone: * click *
Back on topic...
Lets see... for MACs... to find out how much RAM I have... um... er... ooooooo...
I click one icon which is available directly from the desktop... select one item from the drop down menu...
Ah! There it is! Piece o' cake! 
I have 1 GB of DDR RAM in my 17" PowerBook G4 lappy. 
Extra RAM is great for any computer and its cheap too! (disclaimer: some memory chips are cheap) |

if u know anything about the insides of a computer then, just power down, and unplug ur computer, and pull out ur.. one stick of ram and look for a sticker with a serial number or a seriers of numbers on it, then write the numbers down.
rinsert the ram, plug in, and reboot ur machine.. then just go into google and google the numbers u wrote down. u should find a site that has the specifications of the ram u currently have. this will also allow u to pretty much decide what kind of ram u are able to buy for pc.
if i didnt make any sence im srry.. its been a long day |

This should tell you what kind of ram you have (and therefore what you need). SiSoft Sandra Lite
It should tell you what you need to know but as I dont have it currently installed I can't state that as fact. However, I dont recommend stuff that hasn't worked for me. |

Your current RAM should have a sticker on it telling you what type it is. At 256MB it's probably a single stick of 184-pin DDR SDRAM or 168-pin SDRAM. Though it's not required that you do, I reccomend getting the same speed as your current RAM, which ranges anywhere from PC 100 (extremely slow) to PC 8500 (fastest out there). If you want to PM me I'd be happy to give you my MSN/AIM/YIM and help out further. |

Sophie, first off, 1GB RAM is 1024 MB, not 100 MB, second off, RAM has absoulutly nothing to do with how fast you connect to the internet... |

Unless your the type of person who must have the latest and greatest hardware (which from the sound of it you're not) I highly doubt your RAM is DDR2 at PC 8000 as you claim. The RAM itself is on average $250 (for a single stick of 1024). I'm sure finding a motherboard that supports it would be difficult too. My guess is you either misread something or you're trying to sound like you know what you're talking about. |
