Search for the model of PC. Link i found says it uses DDR 400.

I'll find the software that gives you the spec without cracking the PC open.

You're usually better off with 1gb of expensive high quality RAM than you are with lots of low grade stuff...

I said check how much your motherboard can take, usable memory as in, size. not how many slots, although that helps its not enough info for you to benefit the most,

where is the cheapest thinks and extra 2gb.. either 1 stick or 2 1gbs?

DDR2 is cheap as chips at the moment, check how much you can put in your motherboard (usable memory not slots) as 4GB can go for less than £70 now
