    are you asking what the specs are or just recommendations on brand?

    if you don't know the specs, you need pc2-4200 200pin

    if you do know the specs, most users here have upgraded with crucial, transcend, kingston with no problems

    as far as links, you're already at newegg which is where most people here have purchased their ram upgrades. if you want another store, you can look at zipzoomfly.com.

    There are a ton of threads on this already, but as noted, stick with the name brands, generic is a bad idea.
