I am looking to upgrade memory on an MSI N1996 Mother Board which has 2x 168 pin slots and 2x 184 pin slots. I wish to know if I can go to 2GB and which memory is best to use, i.e. ECC, registered/buffered???

If your motherboard supports ECC, and you can afford the much-higher cost of ECC RAM, then buying/using ECC is "best".

Note that "buffered" memory is much slower than "unbuffered" memory.
