"Help with RAM please"

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me.
I'd like to get some more RAM for my pc, but I'm not sure which kind I need, or how I can find out.
I've got a Celeron 2gig processor and 40gig harddrive and at the moment I've got 248 RAM.

Thank you

I don't think it matters mate, as long as it is some sort of DDR it will run the PC 3200 at PC 2100/2700 speeds if his board cannot use the max 400mhz of the PC 3200.

Thee FSB of a 2 GHz Celeron is only 400 MHz anyway, so PC1600 is all that is needed. It'll be supported, in that it will fit into the socket, but won't run at that speed.

All you would need would be a spare slot for the RAM. I'd imagine you do. Really, that's just a suggestion, pick a size, then get any DDR RAM in that size. DDR200, 333, 400, PC1600, 2100, 2700, 3200 - it really doesn't matter. If you get faster than you need it will only work as fast as other bits of the computer, so not at full speed.

What motherboard do you have?

Thank you for your help.
Hope I'm not too annoying, but how do I find out if it's supported?

Better make sure the mobo supports PC3200 first.

A simple upgrade to 512mb is probably all you'll need.

Make sure it's DDR-DIMM PC3200 and unbuffered, something like this:

I mainly use it for internet. I also use it a lot for Flash animations and pictures, but it's a bit slow so I thought more ram might help

What will you be using your PC for?
