See my sig, I have same motherboard and 4 x 1Gb sticks of the same type of memory.

You don't need that much memory just yet.
Best online place for memory?
Without a doubt I'd say Crucial but it may be preferable to get a pair of Geil sticks identical to those you have.
In which case we all have our preferences for online suppliers.
I favour Kustom PC's; Scan; E-Buyer and Aria are ok as well in my book.
Great! Thanks - It is a 32 bit.TriplexDread said:It tells you on boot up. The splash screen will say x64 as it boots

If you have Windows XP, there are two methods to determine whether you are running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version. If one does not work, try the other.
Method 1: View System Properties in Control Panel
loadTOCNode(4, 'moreinformation');
Method 2: View System Information window
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- Type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
- Click the General tab. The operating system is displayed as follows:
Note is a placeholder for a year.
- For a 64-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Version < Year> appears under System.
- For a 32-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional Version appears under System.
loadTOCNode(4, 'moreinformation');
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- Type winmsd.exe, and then click OK.
- When System Summary is selected in the navigation pane, locate Processor under Item in the details pane. Note the value.
- If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with x86, the computer is running a 32-bit version of Windows.
- If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with ia64 or AMD64, the computer is running a 64-bit version of Windows.
