I meant memory not only matched by model (DIMM DDR 333 (2.5), but also from
the same manufacturer.

Well if you cannot determin the installed memory manu and module, you cannot
match it.
(DIMM DDR 333 (2.5) is not a model #

well, but what is tips, if I install Kingston(which is one of the best), and
actual one I have currently is Voodo (or something on "V".).?? There is also

Download a system identification utility such as everest or aida32. In
most cases, it will tell you who made it. In some cases down to serial

specs, in order to make a better match.

Almost sure thing is to pull the current RAM module, and install the RAM
module that meets your needs in capacity size, and suitable for your PC.
