a desktop pc ram (memory) looks like this below:
this is SD-RAM
[img]http://www.technibble.com/articlecontent/types-of-ram/SD-RAM.gif[/img]
this is DDR RAM
[img]http://www.technibble.com/articlecontent/types-of-ram/DDR-RAM.gif[/img]
this is RAMBUS ram

visually, you can easily identify what type of RAM your motherboard can support thru the notches (the slot or space you can find along the gold plated part). each one of them have different clockrate. commonly, if you don't have the manual of your motherboard its hard to identify if what ram your motherboard supports tha ram that came along when you bought your PC hav stickers on them and you can find there is indicated the clockrate like for example PC133 which has a clock rate of 1330Mhz. others have PC400 and so on....
if this helps, a thank you is appreciated...

As someone who had a past life of upgrading pc's professionally I suggest you check the computers users manual or go online and check the specifications for your computer. Before buying additonal memory you need to make sure first how much memory ur computer will allow and those references will also tell you which type and speed rating you should purchase.
An example of how stupid even old users like me can be I purchased 2 gigs of memory for my computer without reading the manual from dell, of course when I installed it my computer would only recongize 1 gig max, so I wasted $128.00 on a stick of memory I could not use, not sure about where you live but here the store has a no return policy on memory.

physically, it looks like DDR. the key difference between DDR and DDR2 is that in DDR2 the bus is clocked at twice the speed of the memory cells, so four bits of data can be transferred per memory cell cycle. Thus, without speeding up the memory cells themselves, DDR2 can effectively operate at twice the bus speed of DDR.

actually you could tweak your RAM with this way :
1. open notepad and copy code below and paste it into notepad.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"AlwaysUnloadDLL"=dword:00000001
2. save it as YOUR FILENAME.reg (using .reg extension).
3. after that double clicking on it and it wil store the information to the windows regedit.
it has function to unload unecessary .dll file (dynamic link library) from memory which some of running program using it
the other method is :
This command will force the OS to process all idle tasks. If your PC is never idle these tasks will never run. One of the tasks that Windows XP performs during idle times is the optimization of the files needed to start the OS. These files will be re-arranged on the disk and match the exact order they are loaded during startup. This list is in C:\Windows\Prefetch\Layout.ini
To get more XP Speed Performance with the eye candy, follow the next steps:
Click Start -> Run
Type: rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks.
Note: After all step, 3 idle tasks will operate in the background. Heavy disk access is likely. This process could continue for a few minutes.

oh yeach am forgot one thing..... i guess this still the best method am used till now.
For Users with 256 MB RAM or more this tweak will boost their Windows- and Game-Performance. What it does: It tells Windows not to use any Swap File until there is really no more free RAM left.
To enable this option, follow the next steps:
Click Start -> Run and type msconfig to open the System Configuration Utility.
There in your System.ini you have to add "ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1" under the 386enh section, but without quote marks
The modifications you made will be in effect after you reboot your PC.

[b]512 MB [/b]sooo low 
i tried viewing my system results. 
here:
[spoiler]www.crucial.com[/spoiler]
i found 2 DDR PC2-5200 <---is this means that ill updgrade to DDR RAM type?
correct me if im wrong coz im still a noob haha
