Which RAM?

Hey everyone,
I would like to upgrade my RAM, but which RAM should I get? I read that Corsair DDRAM is very good and I have the cash to buy, but I have a couple of questions.
1/ At the moment I have SDRAM which works fine on my M/Board. Would DDRAM be OK? I have an Oktek rhino board, PIV 2Gig chip.
2/ Exactly which DDRAM chip. I'm not familiar with all the different 'twinX'/ XMS or 3200/2100 type specications?
Could someone help me out here please?

In order to help you, we need to know exactly which motherbaord and which CPU you have or rather is going to use with your new RAM.
If you motherboard and CPU doesn't support faster ram, then there's no point in buying faster RAM unless you want to overclock your machine, something I want recommend if you are new to this and need a stable machine - oh, and Creamware-cards doesn't like an overclocked pci-bus!

My motherboard is an OCTEK RHINO 845-A4P, my processor is Intel PIV 2G.

Just to let you know, I've since found out that my m/board is not compitable with DDRAM. So I'll be sticking with SDRAM for now.
Cheers
