RAM for myIntel (R) Celeron (R)

[Ader1]

I'd like to put some more RAM into my RAM for myIntel (R) Celeron (R) CPU 2.40 GHZ. It currently has only 480 MB of RAM. I'd like to have around 1 GB minimum. What type do I need? I tried 2 x 412 MB stiks which were 184 DIMM PC2700 CL 2.5....but they didn't work. What do I need for my system and indeed, how do I find out in future what I need for my system. Thank you for reading.

Ps Not quite sure which sub-category to put this under so forgive me if I get it wrong.

You can either use 2 new sticks for 1gb total or just add a stick of 512gb. I always suggest sticking with dual channel which means buying a matching pair.

Thanks again slcmike but how to you know that that is what's needed? Will 1GB be the max for this motherboard?
