Very difficult to recommend what RAM you'll need without knowing what kind of Motherboard you will need to put that RAM in!

So what is the exact make/model of your motherboard?

Go to www.crucial.com (http://www.crucial.com). They have a locator tool that will tell you what RAM you need.

ScottGem's recommendation is naturally much easier for you :) Using the crucial's site should definitely help if you know the model/make of your MB/System. If you can't find your system on Crucials site (which I doubt) you can always try other memory finder sites such as Kingston.com or dell.com. There are others I'm sure out there.
