Need new RAM for under $60.

[KingTarkata]

Alright, a few months back, I bought my gaming system, (q6600, 8800gt, 2GB RAM). It's been more than enough for games, but now I'm starting to push the limits of the 2GB of RAM in it.

My motherboard is a 680iLT, and the current RAM in it is PC2-4200 (2x1GB). What I'm wondering is, what RAM types are supported by my Mobo, and what's the best deal I can get for under $60?

I [I]would[/I] like to get at least 4GB more in there, (I know that seems like a bit much, but I usually have multiple programs running, like 3DSMax, Photoshop, and sometimes a game or two). I've found a few deals, but again, I'm not sure what my mobo supports, and what the best deals are. Here's one I found a while ago, it's PC2-6400, so I'm not sure if it'd work or not.

I'm not as keen as I used to be with computer hardware, so please help out.

Thanks in advance.

Well, that wasn't very helpful. I would still like to know stuff about my mobo.

Get the lowest priced 2x2GB DDR2-800, make sure it doesn't have any rebates as you aren't going to send them in and check the shipping costs as the ones that cost slightly more but have free shipping might be a better deal.

I think I'm going to go with this, and yes, that is my mobo, (Or at least it's one of the similar ones).

Why?
It's overpriced.

10 bucks more for cas 4, d9 chips that you could hit 1200mhz on

or

but the d9's draw less power and are a tad more forgiving
