    I want to install at least one or two 512's of 3200 memory which ones will work. I have heard a lot of not working any that do.

    Keep it simple: go to crucial.com and buy what their configurator recommends. I'm using a pair of Crucial/Micron PC2700 512MB SODIMMs; at today's prices, you might as well get PC3200, which is what Crucial suggests:

    Kingston is supposed to work well too. Infineon and Samsung sticks ought to work with the current BIOS but Crucial is still the safest way to go.

    Same difference for the R3000z:
