I have a 4 year old computer with 256 MB SD RAM 533Mhz (i think). Can i buy another 256 / 512 MB RAM and up my RAM to 512 / 768 MB ?
How much will it cost and where should i head to ?

That means it's a DDR333 module, also called PC2700. The clock frequency is 166.7 MHz, but since it's a DDR (double data rate) memory, it is effectively working as if it's running at 333 MHz. What may be confusing to some is that DDR RAM is a special type of SDRAM and may be tagged as DDR SDRAM.I checked my machine using CPU-Z and found that the RAM is 256MB DDR - 166.7 Mhz.
I recently bought some 512MB DDR400 (200/400MHz) sticks @ 800/-.Now please let me know incase i plan to upgrade my RAM, will i get a 512 MB / 1GB stick ?
In most cases, no. If you install two or more RAM sticks of different speeds, they will all run at the speed of the slowest one. However, there are occasional cases where they can cause stability issues, especially when they are run in dual-channel mode. Personally, I have never had any problem using RAMs of different speeds in single-channel mode.Do the clock speed of the new RAM have to match with the existing one ?
Where ? Which brand ? Whats the price of 1GB ?I recently bought some 512MB DDR400 (200/400MHz) sticks @ 800/-.
and 512MB still 800 rupees ?1gb is about 2.2k now
and 512MB still 800 rupees ?
The price for the 256MB SD RAM will be Rs.750 (approx.) and Rs.1300 (approx.) for 512MB.
oh its dynet ? thats why its cheap. low quality...@MetalheadGautham - My source is located in Secunderabad.
Dynet DDR400 512MB - 800/- (2 months ago. Thouroughly tested several modules with memtest86). 1GB is 1375/- (current price, not bought or tested yet)
I'm in one of the most remote parts of India but I have contacts in several cities. I don't want to make their details public unless I've talked to them first because I don't want to be responsible for swamping them with silly requests and enquiries. I'll discuss it with the company first and let you guys know.
@karaTh85 - I don't know if DDR333 is still available, but even it it is, the price difference between it and and DDR400 will be minimal.
@Pathik - see my reply to MetalheadGautham above.
Added later :
OK, I've talked to the company and they said it's ok if I give their contact info here:
Bhumika Computer Peripherals, Secunderabad.

Please note that they deal mostly with over-the-counter sales, but they will probably be willing to ship too. They have shipped to me but I had to work out shipping arrangements with them first.
And please, for my sake, contact them only if you want to make serious mature enquiries.
It's up to you if you want to use them or not. No one's twisting your arm.oh its dynet ? thats why its cheap. low quality...
Why not ? I'm using two of them in one of my computers, an A64 3000+, and they passed testing with memtest86-3.4 for 3 hours with flying colours.but is it good enough for non OCed P4 ?
Other samples of their prices -the 1GB stick at Rs. 1350 looks really attractive
Sorry I coudn't reply due to a power cutAnd Nehru Place is supposed to be THE place for computer hardware, with the possible exception of Lamington Road in Mumbai. Why don't you try my source in Secunderabad ? They are only a phone call away. When they sent the wrong item once by mistake, I returned it and they sent a replacement without fuss.
