  go to the SPD tab, under Memory Slot Selection, there should be a dropdown box.
  there got Slot#1, Slot#2
  how many of this means how many slots ur com have (should be)
  
  another way would be to open up ur CPU

  Any RAM, but for speed sake, get the same type, which is PC5200 RAM.

  Your computer seems to have 2 RAM slots and they are all occupied.Your setup is currently 2X256 RAM.To add in more RAM, you have to remove one of the stick.Buy the DDR2 533MHz RAM

  Yup, just dump the 2 old RAM sticks and get 2 new 1-gigs one for around $80 or so. RAM's has been cheap these few days; wonder if the price will rise again someday?
  
  And shouldn't it be DDR2-667?

  Doesn't really matter, as long as it's DDR2. Unless that motherboard is also one of a kind.

  I remember some articles mentioned that the clock speed of the RAM should match the front-side bus of the CPU in order to the most juice out of the CPU.

  Yup. But since we don't know... that would settle for now.

  It can be higher too, I think.
  
  If I'm not wrong.
