I'm looking to upgrade my memory. Right now I have 512 MB. Respectable but I want to go higher. I have been looking at the Corsair DDR2 Memory cards. Not sure about DDR2 Memory cards and the compatibility. Just not sure if I have the requirements. Here are my system spec's.

Intel Celeron 2.40 GHz
Core Voltage 1.5+
Core Speed 2400.5 MHz
Socket 478 mPGA
MMX,SSE,SSE2
Buss Speed 100.00 MHz
Motherboard(doesn't list the manufacturer just lists the model) Model Spring dale
Intel Chip set!865P/PE/G/!848P
Bios Phoenix Technologies
Memory DDR 512
Dram Frequency 133.4 MHz
4 Memory Slots
First Memory Slot
512 MB Single Channel
Timing Table Voltage 2.5 V 166 MHz

Its a Custom Built Computer Runs great. If you need more information let me know

After you have run this online scan the results page will display what type of memory you currently have installed, what types of memory you can install, and how much your system can be upgraded to.

If you don't like the prices from Crucial, you can simply cut & paste their results and look for cheaper suppliers elsewhere online. :)

If my research is correct, you need DDR not DDR2 RAM.

Springdale is just a code name for the Intel i865P chip-set.

Now, the question is how much RAM can each DIMM slot take?

As the i865P is listed as being dual channel capable, I would suspect that you can install 1GB DIMMs in each slot.

Install DDR400 (PC3200) for the fastest RAM speed. (Note, all DIMMs should be of the same speed.)

You can also get a good performance boost by upgrading from a Celeron to a Pentium processor. Here, you do need to identify the actual motherboard manufacture so that you can verify which CPUs will work with your board.
