Want to get more ram...

You can fit pretty much any type in the slot, sometimes you have to sand off the extra copper connections so your motherboard will recognize it. If I were you, I'd go out and buy the cheapest thing available. RAM is really all the same. If it doesn't work at first, just take off the outside contacts one by one until it works. If after going through 6 (3 pairs of outer ones), take it back because it's defective

Ok seriously, ya gota post what motherboard ya have here, before we can give ya any advice.... before yer computer starts up starting hitting delete or f4, just hit em both untill teh bios screen pops up then tell us the mobo yer runnin, im sure there is a way to do it in windows, but shit, i forgot where and how.
Write down the name of yer mobo, it should be at the top somewhere.
It'll say MSI k800-Blargh or ABIT-something or soltek-Blarghkt800 or something along those lines, write that down, then come back and tell us!

while sandpaper is a solid choice
Just look at frequency ddr 3200 = 400 2700 = 333
You needn't get more than you can use, you could try to match timings also (cas mostly). what current ram have you got?

its not bad at all
depending on how much you can spend i'd go with some corsair xms since it has the extra low latency timings
any pc3200 ram will work in your mobo though
