I want to add extra memory chip to my PCCHIPS P21G motherboard. Existing chip is a: DIMMO 1024Mb 2,793 Mhz. What will work? Was told that a PNY 1gb DDR PC 3200 will work. True?

- Thank you everyone for your responses!! This is the second time I have used this site and now, due to these answers, I plan on joining as a full member. My first time using resulted in an insult response about how my beloved Chevy Tracker being a piece of junk. In fact, it is a very reliable ride pushing 200,000 miles of inexpensive 4x4, convertable fun!! This time I received very useful, professional advice!! Thanks, I'll be back! Dan

Yes you can add PNY 1GB DDR PC3200 400MHz DIMM to your system but your current memory may be running slower. You should match the memory you are currently running when performing a memory upgrade. Your MB can run:
Two 184-pin 2.5V DIMM sockets for DDR SDRAM memory modules.
Supports DDR400/333/266 memory bus.
Maximum installed memory you can run is 2GB.
So if the memory in your system is running at DDR PC2700 333MHz or DDR PC2100 266MHz & you add 1 GB of DDR PC3200 400MHz to your system. Your MB will lower the speed of the PC3200 400MHz down to match the speed of the possible slower memory currently in your system. Look at your current 1GB memory. It’s not possible for it to run at 2,793MHz. There should be a sticker on your current memory.
It should show the manufacture name and its speed; PC2100, PC2700 or PC3200. Below is a link to PNY memory;

Yes. That motherboard can handle a total of 2048 (2 GB) of DDR PC 3200 (AKA DDR 400).
