hi guys, been a long time.
anyways, recently one of my computers broke down, its motherboard failed for some reason, but anyways i decided to buy a new one, that fits the same processor (p4 ht)
heres the mobo : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NH788-Motherboard-Optiplex-GX280-SMT-Tower-XF954-Genuine-Dell-Original-K5146-/280799519773?pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item4160f4a41d#ht_3985wt_1037
it says on its specs (http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx280/en/ug/specs02.htm) that it only takes memory speeds of 400&533 MHz... this confused me because im not sure what kinda of ram i can buy now, i know it has to be ddr2 but not sure what speed
my question is ,what speed does it have to be? and can you guys kindly recommend some ram to me,
i need at least 2GB if not more, but more importantly it needs to be pretty cheap (preferably from ebay or amazon)
ive looked at some like these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corsair-Memory-2x-1-GB-DDR2-RAM-/150731733475?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_MemoryRAM_JN&hash=item23184fb9e3#ht_500wt_1287

but im hesitant to buy them since im not sure about the speed issue
thanks in advance guys
