thanks mate but is it the system scanner or the memory adviser tool?

memory advisor... oh wait. the system scanner lol. this is what i got:

The Crucial System Scanner has completed the evaluation of your system. We've searched more than 20,000 systems to list only the memory upgrades guaranteed to work in your ASUS P4S800.
Important! The Crucial System Scanner has determined that you only have one empty memory slot available for an upgrade. To maximize the performance of your system, consider purchasing the largest compatible upgrade your computer will support. Simply subtract the amount of memory currently installed from your computer's maximum memory capacity. This will give you the module size (number of megabytes) that we recommend. Just make sure you don't exceed the maximum amount of megabytes your computer can handle.


Crucial recommends this 184-pin DIMM DDR PC3200 module guaranteed to be compatible with your system and deliver the performance you need.

CPU-z will tell you all you need to know.

Look at the "Memory" and "SPD" tabs to see what you currently have and then order some more.

It will either be DDR/DDR2 or an older pc100/133 variant.
