I have 1 stick of DDR Ram in my machine. It says:

Module Size: 256MB
Max Bandwidth: PC2300 (142MHz)
Manufacturer: Kingston

Now im looking to buy two 1GB sticks for my computer, but when I called the store they asked me if I need 400. What does that mean???

How do you I know exactly what type/kind of RAM I need??

depends on what motherboard you have, find out what kind you have with a program like aida32 or everest and im sure someone here can tell you what you need.

by 400 i think they meant 400mhz which i believe is pc3200, according to intel that motherboard can only handle up to 333 which i think is pc2700, look here,

hopefully someone that knows what there talking about can give you more info, i'm missing to many braincells to be reliable.

Hi there, pc3200 (DDR400) is backwards compatable and will work just fine in place of what you have,although it will run at the slower(333mhz.)speed.

1 More question actually.

On here
http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/d845gvsr/index.htm

It says: Memory - Two 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets
Support for single-sided or double-sided DIMMs (DDR 333/266/200)
Support for up to 2 GB system memory.

Does that mean I can use DDR or SDRAM?? I can buy either one?
