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.

The thing is if mswalsh goes to www.crucial.com or www.powerleap.com, the site will look at the PC and tell him what his options are. AND the memory is cheap and arrives in a couple of days. I have used powerleap to upgrade my system and several other systems in my Village area.
