Normally it will be determined by the motherboard, the RAM you are looking at is PC2-5300, so the motherboard needs to accept that standard....

From that site i can't figure out what the motherboard is, and im at work supposedly working at the moment ;D

You can find that information in the motherboard's manual. If you don't have it, donload it from the motherboard's vendor website.

Cheers, should have mentioned the computer hasn't arrived yet (lol). I'll wait till it comes next Tuesday to buy some RAM.  ;) :)
