DDR2 PC2 They want to sell real cheap? It's for my kid's computer. The damn thing died and it had a 1G stick in it, so I guess I'm looking for 1 or 2 Sticks. I'm trying to avoid sending Crucial $32 for something that only does Lego games and school work.

If it helps, this is what I'm looking for: http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=6B04989AA5CA7304

Would 2 sticks of 512M, PC2-4200 work?

I don't know.....if it were cheap, I'd be willing to find out. It should be backwards compatible. Crucial implies 2 sticks are the way to go.
I can't do anything until the 20th though....wont have any funds until then.

Looking at the link in your first post, you may run into a problem with RAM speed. What you linked to is PC2-5300. That's faster than what I have. It's usually not a good idea to use RAM slower than what the machine is expecting.

And I don't want to sound like a dumb ass but I learned what PC2 was today. I have a drawer full of regular 400 MHz DDR....I just couldn't figure why none of that wouldn't fit in Stevie's eMachine..... I figured the eMachine used proprietary memory.....DOH! Learn something new everyday!

If you don't think it will work, I'll take your word for it, because I don't know.

I sold all my computer memory long ago, however I have some odds and ends left. As it turns out, I found four sticks of 512M PC2-5300 that are left. If you can use them, send me an address and I mail them to you.

My wife has already left for work, so I'll send them with her tomorrow to mail out. We don't get mail very often out here. The coyotes ate the last pony express dude.

How much? N/C I want to do my part to further the hand/eye coordination of our youngsters. It might come in handy should he ever need to thumb his nose at his dad. :twisted:
