I made the assumption that you have a Dimension 2300. The factory manual specified PC133 SDRAM (non-ECC) and either 128, 256, or 512 MB of RAM factory installed. the maximum memory specified is 1 GB (1024 MB ). if you have 512 MB installed already, it may be split up into 2 modules. your computer only has space for 2 modules, so you would have to replace both in order to increase your memory. SDRAM is becoming more scarce as time goes on, so the price is higher than DDR or DDR2
short answer, purchase 2 memory modules at 512MB each. type is SDRAM PC133.
If you just want to go pick it up somewhere, staples has it listed for $49.99 each. otherwise, get it online, it will almost always be less expensive.
