658303 2008-04-13 03:56:00 Capt.Hook - have a look at This forum here (driverzone.com) - this person looks like they have the same board as yours, Its a Packard bell - Assuming its the same PC/Board, you have the older style DDR - SDRAM with a MAX capacity of 2 GB - SD is expensive these days compared to DDR & DDR2 - and they are not computable with SD I'm afraid.

Looking back over your posts you say its got DDR , Where did you get that information from please ? Easiest way to check is to make sure the PC is off, remove the side cover and look on the current RAM chip, it will be written on there someplace.

Generally speaking - the board you have should take 1 GB possibly more - what will give you a noticeable performance increase will be adding in 512 at least - what will hold it back is the Celeron CPU- they are budget CPU's - no point in spending lots of $$ on upgrading RAM to much if the CPU wont keep up.

Then go to the manufacturers website and download the manual.
