Your specs are very confusing... I doubt you have 504MB of RAM, that doesn't make sense. Usually it's in powers of 2, as in 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc. And you're stating two different processors, 2.99, and 3.0gHz...

download this, install, and open it.

find the PROCESSOR "NAME" and "PACKAGE" and reply with those
then tell us the MOTHERBOARD "MANUFACTURER" and "MODEL"

then we can find out exactly which memory type you need. Without this information, there's no way to tell which kind of memory will fit your computer.

Some pre-built PC from the likes of Dell, HP, Compaq and such did sometimes come with wierd amounts, such as 192mb and other unusual ones. Its just the way they worked with the older DDR ram thats all.
Also, some cheaper unbranded sticks don't always like up to the right amount, which is most likely why he has 504 showing as opposed to nearer the 512mb joe. Elixir ram or infineon was notorious for this.
The final and most likely cause is because there is some onboard resource taking chunks of the RAM. Shared video memory for example. Cool

Your computer has 2 DIMMs, and one of them are probably already used up. The best setup (to me) is to add another 512MB of DDR2-400 (PC2-3200) RAM. The integrated 915 chipset graphics take up 8MB of RAM, so it's showing 504MB.

As for 2.99GHz and 3.0GHz, the frequency hovers, it's not static. So, if it's close, you can probably call it 3.0GHz.
