Hope nobody is offended by the title, but "People wise in the ways of computers" didn't fit, so i summarized!
My memmory is old, it's basically from the time when DDR was a new technology.
(It's two sticks of DDR 266, a 128 and a 512.) ><
What I want to do is upgrade, by buying 2 sticks of 1gig of ram.
However, I am not sure which kind is the fastest that my motherboard can handle.
My motherboard is an Nforce 2, an NF7 v2.0. Made by Abit. I know it has the capacity to run the memmory in dual channel, so that's another thing I want to enable.

The web site says it supports two DDR 400 modules, but, I want to make sure there's no catch or something I'm not realizing about it before I buy.
(There is a 3rd slot for memmory, but I think i'll just leave that slot empty.)
I think I can install the memmory myself, I already installed the CPU (I upgraded my old T-bird 1.3gHz to an Athlon XP 2500+ 1.83gHz), is memmory much more difficult to install?
Any recommendations or suggestions on what memmory to buy?
