...do I need and is it as easy as just buying a new stick and installing it? I have 2GB RAM and like to add another. I just like to know if there are others with similar specs as I do can recommend a good RAM that I can install. I like to go up to 3GB or 4GB. Thanks.

I've managed to find a list of different memories. Now I am a bit confuse on which to get. Can someone advise me please. Please click on the link below to see the list of memories:

You have to match the specs of your existing modules. The CAS timings have to be the same.

Download CPU-Z and check the SPD tab. Those are the numbers you must match.

Otherwise you will face possible instability issues, or even failure to boot.
