Hi Rossy87,
Is this your PC?
Information and Instructions - IMEDIA MC 2470 - PB34338701 - iMedia - platform_honeymoon_imedia - Desktop
You'd be looking for either:
DDR2-533 (PC2-4300) CL 4
DDR2-667 (PC2-5400) CL 4
DDR2-800 (PC2-6400) CL 4
Your current RAM is DDR2-533 with a Cas Latency of 4 (CL4)
You can run most higher speed RAM as long as it 'drops down' to a lower speed that your motherboard can support.
ie DDR2-800 that will run at DDR2-533
If you plan to keep the existing 1 GB stick, whatever extra RAM you choose must support DDR2-533 with a Cas Latency of 4-4-4-12 or CL 5-4-4-12 which runs at 1.8v.
Mixing and matching different voltages and Cas Latency RAM is a recipe for trouble. I believe your mother board can support up to a maximum of 4GB.

It doesn't show the sub-timings and voltage, but I'd say it would be fine.

Nothing damaging
If for example that particular RAM required 1.9 / 2.0v to run, the worst thing that would happen would be system instability / BSOD.
There's a high chance it's 1.8 so I'd say it's a pretty safe bet it's fine

Power your PC down first! Unplug / switch of the PSU.
From there it's a simple case of matching the slot on the RAM to the notch on the motherboard, making sure it's securely in place. It only fits one way and there are latches on the motherboard that lock into the RAM. You should hear / feel a bit of a click.
After that, you should be good to go
If whatever reason the PC beeps and fails to POST (start properly), double check the RAM is seated is correctly.
Good luck
