    OK, This is my problem.
    This is my motherboard:

    Here's my current RAM:

    I wanted to upgrade my RAM with another 1GB, So, today I bought a DDRII 1GB and tried it, it didn't work.

    Now, can anyone tell me what are things that should be considered when buying a RAM for my PC?
    What must be the FSB? How do I ask from the shop?

    Thanks for the help!

    My old RAM is 1GB DDRII Samsung, can I use any DDRII 667Mhz RAM with it? Or Do I have buy Samsung only?

    Thanks

    Put new ram in a old ram's slot and put old ram in a another slot. If it doesn't work,
    start computer with old ram and set RAM speed to 667 in BIOS. then install new ram and try.

    BIOS can detect your slowest RAM & adjust the speed of both to work together. 667Mhz is the standard, so as long as your new one support it , BIOS doesn't have any problem to work.

    Make sure your RAM is genuine
