Memory can be tricky, particularly older RAM, sometimes it's difficult to know when will and won't be compatible.

Your best option is using the Crucial Memory Advisor: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/advisor

Plug in either your system (if it's a pre-build dell/hp or similar) OR your motherboard details if it's a home-built system. You'll get a list of compatible RAM which you can buy direct from crucial. You can match the specs of the RAM they list with a cheaper alternative from elsewhere and it should work too.

Well then... like I said above... if the Crucial memory advisor for your system/MB lists a 2GB stick with the same specs as the 2nd hand model you're buying, then it SHOULD work. If it doesn't, then it's unlikely that it will work. That website is usually pretty good.
