I did some more looking and the additional info you'll need that wasn't listed on the original page is that it expects 184 pins (not 200) and pc2700 speed. So here's the full list of specs to take to your shop:

* You want 2 1-GB sticks of...
* 184 pin DDR 333 DIMMs
* PC2700 speed
* Non ECC support

I've found examples online ranging from $17 per stick to $44 per stick; generally, good brands to look at are Transcend and Crucial, though Samsung's fairly well known too. Here's some links that you could print out to take along to the shop?

Your motherboard's specific RAM recommendation from Crucial (http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=P4MA%20Pro%20533)

2GB Kit (2 x 1GB) DDR PC2700 Unbuffered Non-ECC 184-PIN DIMM - what you'll want to end up with (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009RPY96?ie=UTF8&tag=japanesehomec-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0009RPY96)

Samsung 1GB DDR RAM PC2700 184-Pin DIMM - a Samsung alternative to the Crucial set above (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YFZQMI?ie=UTF8&tag=japanesehomec-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000YFZQMI)

happy shopping! (And in response to your other question downthread? It will definitely help. Whether or not they'll totally stop lagging also depends on your CPU and bus rate limitations, but it's definitely going to give your computer more 'elbow room' to handle things like video with...)
