I see you have the motherboard brand, but what model? That would be the key to answering this. Thanks.

OK, after seeing this on that page...

Quote:
Main Memory

• Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.8 Volt DDR2 SDRAM
• Supports up to 8GB memory size.
• Supports dual channel DDR2 memory architecture.
• Supports DDR2 667/800/1066 (OC) memory interface.


It comes down to budget. You have a 64-bit OS, so 4GB might be nice over 2GB... And while PC2-6400 (800MHz) is rock bottom in prices, PC2-8500 (1066MHz) would give a bit of a boost.

How much do you want to spend?

You can get 2x 2GB of fairly low latency 1066MHz stuff from a few brands. These Patriot modules look good to me... just over $100

If you're not in a rush, just keep your eyes out. Memory sales are all over the place, and something similar may drop big any time now.
