All I know is this is p4i65G motherboard (you can tell me how it is crap) and i know it is DDR memory but i don't know which to choose.

So I have 512Mb installed memory and i just want make it to 1Gb so I need another 512.

Max is 2Gb and I will make it cheapest as possible.

Here's my suggestions:

I have chosen Arianet Arianet 512MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (DDR400) costs tenner.

Will it work with my computer?

If not then give me a other memory that works with my computer and it must be from www.aria.co.uk and pick out cheapest as possible u can.
 
For any ram you are considering, do your own homework.
Go to the ram vendor's web site, and access their configurator.
Corsair, Kingston, Patriot, OCZ and others have them.
Their compatibility list is more current than the motherboard vendor's QVL lists which rarely get updated.
Enter your mobo or PC, and get a list of compatible ram sticks.

Core 2 cpu's are not very sensitive to ram speeds.
If you look at real application and game benchmarks(vs. synthetic tests),
you will see negligible difference in performance between the slowest and fastest ram.
Perhaps 1-2%. Not worth it to me.
Don't pay extra for faster ram or better timings unless you are a maximum overclocker.
