I'm looking to buy 512 MB of RAM to add to my current 512 MB (or even 1GB if the price is right). I've got two questions for those out there that can answer them:

- My computer's memory is the following: "512 MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM memory". Do I need to buy DDR memory or SDRAM memory (I could only find either or, not anything called 'DDR SDRAM')?

- Is this a good deal: (if it's compatible for me) and if so, can I trust the company - Reviews look kind of fishy to me (really fishy, really)

Thanks for the help!

I ALWAYS go to www.crucial.com to check what is the right memory for any motherboard! You can put in your exact board and it will tell you exactly what will work, they even sell memory, though I do not always by it from them.
