What's your motherboard?
Also why not just get a new pc?
I'm just assuming that this is for NAS or game server

I would recommend starting with http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner Crucial System Scanner which will scan your hardware and recommend memory, maximum module size, number of slots, and speed. this will help you determine what system supports.

any ddr2 ram if your motherboard supports it

If it is an Intel D850MV motherboard which googling seems to suggest, that board uses RDRAM (Rambus) which isn't made anymore.

See http://www.cnet.com/products/intel-desktop-board-d850mv-motherboard-atx-socket-478-i850-series/specs/ I believe this is the board you have

Only option for memory is Amazon/Ebay or some similar site

Just asking. Are rams backwards compatible (can i stick ddr2 ram on ddr slot)
Because if it is he would have easier times selecting RAMs

No they are not, DDR is 184Pin, DDR2 is 240Pin
