memory - Upgrading ram in a PC




I need to upgrade my ram in my windows pc. Ram has always confused me with the different kinds that are out there now.




I currently only have 1gb and would like to upgrade to 4gb if possible. I pulled out one of the 512mb sticks to look at it, it says it is PC2-4200. DOes this mean to upgrade I just need to make sure the new ram is PC-2 4200? Or could something else go in?



I have an older stick of ram I tried to put in earliar, its dimensions are the exact same as the stick I took out except the groove/line near the center of the ram was off by a few centimeters so it would not fit, the writing on this ram is KVR333/512 2.5v Kingston
