As Joe M stated, it is unlikely you will ever use more than 2GB of RAM unless you are either a server application running mounds of Cisco, or if you are an avid gamer and need better latency count for your RAM (which you will most definately pay for). My suggestion would be, depending on your motherboard, and if it supports it, find a good pair of 1GB sticks of Dual Channel Memory. Perfect fit even for a gaming application. I have been using (honestly...) two 512 sticks of Kingston ValueRam Pc 3200 for almost 2 years now, and haven't had any need for upgrade. Granted, my resources are normally all used with some games and applications, but as the saying goes... if it's not broke...
Here are some places that I shop for RAM... My suggestion (fundage allowed) would be the first on the list. Excellent RAM, not the cheapest, but tried, trusted and true to it's name.
Hope this helps! Good luck with your upgrade!

every time we upgrade the capacity of a machine, we pay the price for a few years. the price will drop eventually. when the 1gb sticks first came out, you could expect to pay 100$ for them. now they are around 30-50$. the 2gb ram cards are still VERY fresh. dont expect to find one for under 120 just yet

Just dump two 1gig sticks in it.
I can almost gaurantee you don't need more than 2gig of ram for any of the applications you are running. Even if you have several running at once.

It would most likely be less expensive to get a motherboard with 4 memory slots--if you can find a 2gig memory stick-it will be expensive.
