For the system, it's still the same 2gb [2 x 1gb modules].
If you are refering to a PCI graphics card, look for a card with memory of either 512mb, or 1gb

The Dimension 2400 motherboard does not support any PCI Express x16 graphics cards, only PCI cards similar to PCI cards, shown HERE

Sounds like the memory is not compatible with the Dimension 2400.
One of the the best vendors for memory that's certified to work in the 2400, is HERE.
The maximum memory that can be installed in the Dimension 2400, is 2gb [2 x 1gb modules].
