Alright, the reason I showed my Mobo, and processor, is because they have to be compatable etc... Anyways Im looking into memory right now, and I a pretty sure that a want about 1Gig of memory...but i don't really know in what speed i need it.....to fit with my CPU, and mobo that is.

I think PC3200 (DDR400) is what you'll want to use. Make sure you get RAM from a good manufacturer like Crucial, Kingston, Geil, Mushkin or Corsair.

Your link just goes to the system RAM page at Newegg, not specific RAM...or are you looking at the ADATA RAM (that's what I saw first when I clicked on the link).

What about PC3200 (DDR2400)?

[KoMoDo]

i dont see that mobo supporting DDR 2, so ull have to go with "plain old" PC3200 DDR 1
the first mobo is 939 socket, and thats what u wanna use :-P its also from a much better company
