How do you find the right one?

I'm no computer engineer, but I know the basics. I'm thinking of upgrading my dinosaur of a computer. I've had it 5 years, and everything is original. 6gb HD, 128mb memory etc.

I saw a tv tech programme a few weeks ago about upgrading computer memory (you might have seen it on news 24 in uk, or bbc world everywhere else). The guy went through the process of changing it and said that you have to find memory cards which are compatable with your machine, which involves taking your motherbord or computer number and finding one. Just going out and buying the first card you see won't work.

I've got a few numbers off mine, so now what do I do?

Bearing in mind the computer is so ancient, and manufactered by a company which apparently no longer exists (Omega, OEE).

edits:

I do know that the current ones are SDRAM DIMM. There are 3 slots all together, only 2 are filled with 64mb each.

Motherbord is P6BX-A+
