Hello folks.

I am buying a new pc off of newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883229002)

It has 2GBs of ram, but since I have the cash and want this PC to last awhile, I want to add 2GBs more.

Hi,
Your MoBo is an ASUS M2N-SLI It will support up to 8GB DDR2 800 memory.
I would suggest you read the owners manual before buying additional ram:

See chapter 2 page 11. It also list QVL if you so wish to purchase the additional Ram.
Hope this helps
Bill
