You should be able to use any pc3200/ddr400 Non ecc ram.
What kind of computer is it and how many slots does it have?

That being a P4 computer your mother board should be able to run dual channel,the only reason it is'nt now is because Hp skimped and only installed a single 512 module. Tell me your budget and I'll help you pick out some good ram.
Jumping from 512 single channel to 2 gigs dual channel should give you a noticable difference in performance!

Ok,Corsair is one of if not the most respectable producers of ram.I would suggest these>http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145491

Or these if you could swing the extra few bucks >http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145575
It's lower latency (higher performance)and might make a difference if your motherboard will allow.
