I'm going to start with upping my RAM to start with from 1GB.

I am pretty sure mine are PC3200 too, just checking if these were ok?

Can my motherboard handle 2GB?

Thanks in advance.

What would you suggest then?

I would like 2GB (1 x 2) PC3200 - i don't want to spend a crap load though, even though i have a good job! This is just like a temporary upgrade for now until i look to set out on a whole new system later on in the year perhaps.

Thanks!

This or this if mb is ok, which it should be. Maybe worth waiting until your ready to build a new rig.
