Putting more ram in Dell Dimension 5150

[hydealexander]

Hi, I have a Dell Dimension 5150, Pentium D 2.8
64bit windows 7

It currently has 2 X1GB DDR2 RAM

According to the mrmmemory scanner it has PC2 4200 240 Pin
According to CPUID it is 'max bandwidth' PC2 5300 (333 mhz)

With that info in mind, if I was going to buy another 2 X1GB sticks of RAM, which should I go for? (link below) Note- the model I have only takes up to 1GB in each of the 4 slots. Otherwise I'd be getting 4 X2GB.

This is the local games and parts shop in my city and it has this selection of memory. Which would you advise? Yes I'm figuring it's 2nd hand!

Unless you want to relace all the RAM, I would get the same 4200 speed you have now. OEM systems tend to be a lot more picky with the RAM they can run.
