I'm not good at selecting and buying computer hardware, i was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of getting another 1.5gb in ram, because i know i'll buy some RAM not compatable with my motherboard lol!

its highly possible your motherboard supports dual channel memory, if this is the case DO NOT use 1.5gb combination, you will lose performance with no dual channel
Preferably get a 2gb kit of either pc3200 or pc4000
the higher the number the faster the memory operates at but keep an eye on the timing, high mhz low timing ddr memory is what you want... pinnacle of that would likely be mushkins redline

Go to crucial.com and scan your system. See what your system will run. If it will run ram a lot faster than what you have in put 2 or 4 big sticks of the fastest ram it will run in and take the slow ram out. For optimal performance use identical sticks so your voltages and latencies are exactly the same.

Get another 512 MB DDR SD RAM and also check the Mhz of your current RAM and make sure that your newly purchase ram is of the same Mhz. It would also be a good idea to get the same RAM brand as of your current RAM brand eg. Hynix, Corsair etc.

I shop at Newegg.com where you can read the reviews posted by the customers.
There are several very good brands out there, and most manufacturers provide an online guide that will help you determine which modules are compatible.

What you posted is totally useless, you need the make/model of your computer, or the make/model of the motherboard in order for someone to help you
