im planning to add more ram to my computer
i have 667mhz pc5300 ddr2  2gb(1 X2) i want to add 2 512mb.

i found info about my mobo and it says it supports 533 MHz, 800 MHz, 1066 MHz (processor dependent)

You'll be fine. Match the same size sticks on the dual channel slots. There's no quad channel. Dual channel mode works in pairs; you'll get a 5-7% performance boost over single channel mode.
