To discover what you need, you can try the scanner at Crucial here: http://www.crucial.com/ Also, try running CPU-z: http://www.filehippo.com/download_cpuz/
If your motherboard uses DDR then it won't support DDR2. You should buy DDR400. If you buy a slower one it will slow down the other modules.
thanks it's a p5gd1 pro asus i don't know if it supports DDR2 but when i add ram , should i teak XP or is enough add ram , and windows xp will optimazed itself ?
mantra, here are the specs for your P5GD1 PRO and it uses DDR400. Just add the RAM and see how it goes before tweaking anything. FadeAway gave you the link to an excellent program, CPU-Z, that will give you lots of info on your motherboard.
Mantra, I use an Asus P5Q-E and use 4G's of Mushkin with good results. Like the RAM, hate the board. Hugger
