Hi again Steve

The type of ram you are looking to buy is PC3200 DDR 1Gb modules, a good
brand like Corsair, Kingston, Crucial should be fine in your board.
as for buying on places like ebay, it can be a bit hit and miss
however if you buy from a good seller with a good rating you shouldn't
have to much to worry about, some even offer refunds if your not happy,
enthusiasts upgrade there machines all the time so they often list there
old parts to recover some of there money, I for one have a huge pile off
stuff I should get listed on there at some point, but I keep telling
myself it will come in handy.

Have you tried looking on the internet?
Amazon has what you need for $60.00 - $80.00 for 2, 1 Gig sticks, or 1 Gig
sticks for as low as $30.00 each. This is with free shipping.
I would avoid buying this from Ebay. You may save a few bucks, but you may
run into a real hassle. If you can find some used ones for half what they go
for new, maybe risk it. If you wish to buy from Ebay make sure you pay with
a credit card, not a debit card. At least then if you get screwed, you can
get all your money back.

Yes, you are reading that right. PC3200 runs at 400mHz, and is referred to
as DDR1, or just DDR. Frys has that spec in two 1G sticks for $75-ish,
sometimes less at the register, and sometimes with a mail-in rebate. I
bought 4G of DDR2 (which won't fit your machine but illustrates the point)
for $50, and it had a $25 mail-in rebate, making the end price of $25.
Pretty good deal. I recently bought rwo 1G sticks of the RAM you need for
under $50.

LOL, there is an old line that goes something like Junk is defined as
something you need 2 days after you tossed it out.
