Hi guys I really noob at the field of computer hardware. I'm too stupid to understand FSB..cloking...memory speed etc but again I don't want to buy something that won't work fine.

So here is a screenshot of my chipset manufacture's website. Here you can see what it supports ( http://goo.gl/EXbev

And here is my pc's current configuration summery screenshot (taken by Hw32 software) http://goo.gl/9oiKr

Now I'm going to buy one more 1GB RAM stick. Could you please advice me about its speed? Like current one?(i guess which is 400MHz, checkout the last screenshot)

btw yea my pc is a crapy one...still running f****g celeron :D

because computers work best with identical sticks of ram when using more than one stick ,the answer here is a easy one ,buy a stick that matches the one you already have installed.
pc2 6400 ddr2-sdram udimm 400mhz
good luck
