    I want to upgrade the RAM on my parents home PC from 512mb. I did the crucial.com scan and it says that it is DDR PC2-5200.

    What it doesn't say is the total memory that the machine can handle.

    Also I had a look on shop4memory.ie dor the specified RAM type but they don't have it, only PC2 -4300 then a jump to PC2-5300.

    Can anyone tell me what would be compatable?

    Cheers.

    System Manufacturer: iQon.ie

    Did you ask google? I just did and got all the information I wanted, but I'm not gonna share :p

    Just joking of course, here is the MSI web page for that motherboard, or so it seems, is it a Micro-ATX board, yea? You'll be wanting PC-5300 RAM, I'd guess that was a typo on the Crucial site (a grim one at that - there's no such thing as PC5200 DDRII RAM). The most you can have according to the MSI site is 2GB, so I'd recommend you click here and do the needful :)
