You just need something that has the same params as what you have now. It
doesn't even have to be the same brand. It just so happens I just upgraded
my brothers MB/cpu/ram and I've got a 512M stick of Kingston KVR400/512R
that he bought last year. I was going to put it on ebay along with the
other stuff. If it matches yours, make me an offer.
