I want to upgrade my ram to 4gb ram .. I have Intel CPU and i found 2 pcs of 2gb ddr2 ram at 800mhz but theres a description saying "special use for amd" what does it mean ? does it mean that I can't use it on Intel CPU ?

I don't understand it completely, but there are ram/cpu compatibility issues with DDR2 memory, it does need to be either non specific or specific for your cpu brand.

You shouldn't buy new DDR2 anymore. Just go on eBay and filter for intel compatibility. The stuff from China is hit and miss, but should be quite alright in the end. When it doesn't work, just request a refund.

thats the ram of my pc 

 

think thats the same with this http://www.lazada.com.ph/1gb-pc2-6400u-ddr2-240pins-800mhz-computer-desktop-pc-dimm-memorysdram-ram-2828297.html  ? or can i use it on my pc ?  .. 

yea i found many good offers on ebay but the problem is that it doesnt ship in philippines and the payment needs a credit card and i dont have one im just 15 yrs old .. i dont have a card like visa or whatever yet... while lazada has cash in delivery option for payment.
