What memory can I use to upgrade my Computer

I have a DG35EC motherboard,http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dg35ec/sb/CS-028864.htm#dimms

But this link mentions I need to use SPP memory, and my supplier hasnt heard of it and says I should try 2048MB DDR2 800MHZ NON-ECC UNBUFFERED modules.

Does anyone think these may or may not work.

Thanks

Have you tried one of the memory suppliers memory checkers? http://www.crucial.com it'll show you what's installed and what's available.
I think you mean SPD (Serial Presence Detect) memory. This type of memory places certain informaion on th ememory chip that the motherboard/BIOS can then access (timing informaion, manufacturer and serial number are some)

Only problem is I am wanting to go from $gb to 8, and some sites say it can but others say it cant, and yes sorry about the spelling error it is SPD
