Hi bayliss, unfortunatly that memory you've selected yourself is only DDR1, the board is DDR2.

Also, what is this new computer going to be used for mainly? That will help us determine the optimum amount of RAM, as 512mb is fairly low in this day and age.

Hi bayliss, 512mb is very little for gaming purposes these days.
Infact, most games coming out are recommending 1gb of RAM..if it's in your budget, I wouldn't hesitate to get the 1gb if I was you.

PS. 2 of those will be great
