I'm upgrading my Compaq PC's memory to 2 GB from 512 and have a couple
of questions. While I can document the correct memory upgrade through
HP/Compaq and Crucial, when I find what seems to be a cheaper price for
memory at some of the other websites, I am unable to find my particular
computer model referenced as being compatible. What memory specs do I
need to match in order for it to work? Or is it more involved than I think?
Compaq Presario Media Center SR2032X:

Crucial says that I can use either PC2-4200 or PC2-5300. I've found
(what I think is), a good deal on Kingston 1GB PC2-5300 (29.99), but am
unsure if it is compatible:

What specs do I need to match to ensure this memory works on my computer?
Is Kingston ValueRAM line ok?
Is dual channel memory compatible or is it a different card design?
