Is this RAM compatible with a Dell Dimension E520?

I'm thinking of purchasing the Dell Dimension E520 on offer at the moment for £293 (Core2Duo, 250GB RAM, 1GB RAM).

But I would like some more RAM. If I purchase the same system from Dell as above except with the 2GB RAM option it will cost me another £59.

I am thinking of purchasing the 1GB system and adding RAM separately. I am thinking of buying one of these two, both on ebuyer:

1GB Crucial RAM:

2GB Kingston RAM:

Are they compatible with a Dell Dimension E520? Are they any good? Will I get much advantage from adding 2GB RAM? (i.e. 3GB in total) or is 1GB extra enough (i.e. 2 GB total).

Thanks!

I would just go for the extra 1gb should be way plenty enough, HERE is a link to crucials web and the memory you need to install. Which is the one you have linked from e-buyer. By the way you can click the link, scan my system now on the above to tell you exactly what is installed

yes that ram should be fine - the only probs you may have is depending on how many slots there are for memory on the mobo and how many sticks of ram dell have installed.
