Upgrading RAM

Glenalla

Hi All, I am new to computer stuff but have been advised to upgrade my RAM on my desktop pc. I am trying to find out what to buy but still not sure. I ran the scan from Crucial to assess what I had and needed, below is a copy of their findings. Can anyone point me in the direction of what I need to purchase, ddr1 or ddr2 to upgrade and how much RAM should I buy?
Many thanks.
The following is a list of what our scan was able to detect:
System Manufacturer: Foxconn
System Model: AWRDACPI
Motherboard Manufacturer: Foxconn
Motherboard Model: P4M890-8237

Hi. Buy another 3 512mb sticks of DDR PC2-5300. Stick them into the three empty slots and you will have 2g of ram then.;)

Thanks Barry, can I just buy a 1gb stick and put it in one of the empty slots or do I need to buy 512 mb memory only?
