Right - first of all have a look in the MOBO manual and see what the maximum amount of RAM it is capable of supporting speed and GB size that is and then post back.

The problem with MOBOs like what you have said very rarely come with info other than in the user manual

Hi,

 

I had a look and Crucial don't list your machine for some reason??

 

The Packard Bell support page recommends DDR2, 400, 533 or 667, as does the Kingston website.

 

Links here:

 

Core - Rio (GA-8TRC410MNF-RH) Motherboard - spec_Rio - Information and Instructions - IMEDIA MC 1539 - PB34305801 - iMedia - platform_honeymoon_imedia - Desktop

 

Kingston Technology Company - Kingston Memory Search - Search Results for:

 

The Kingston part is actually stocked by Dabs at the moment, about £18.

 

Part number D12864F50, 1GB DDR2 667.

 

Dabs link:

 

dabs.com - Kingston 1GB Module (D12864F50)

 

That should do it :)
