Tricia,
Just so you know, WinXP can only handle up to 3GB of RAM. It's not a
problem if you're thinking about adding 2 more sticks of 512MB or 1GB each,
but you won't be able to go any higher than that.
Also, your mainboard is designed for dual-channel memory access. That
means it runs much better when a bank is filled with two matching sticks.
Matching sticks are two identical sticks that have been tested at the
factory for rating compatability and are sold in a single package showing
that they are a matched set. When you go shopping, be sure to insist on a
matched pair. :O)
Peace,
GMan
