hm..... do you have cpu-z? if so it will show what it is
also pc-6400 will prolly work and right now it is dirt cheap about 4gigs for $15 so.... that is prolly your best bet

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.

Re: I want more memory but dont know what to get
Ok thanks that has helped massively. Would it do anything bad to my comp if it wasnt 1.8v??

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
