Show us the stickers of the RAM that you have originally.

It looks like you ordered FB-DIMM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_Buffered_DIMM

You need regular DDR2 RAM, not the FB-DIMM stuff, for most desktops.

I want to get 1gb but if they come in 2gb, i will just get that. So should i get unbuffered ddr2? Or is there a proper term so i can search it up on newegg or ncix

I have 2 sticks of https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145202 that you can have. No idea if it will work though.

The 1st photo is wrong on 2 counts
1) it is Fully Buffered
2) it is ECC.

Get RAM without these 2 features and you will be OK.
The 1st photo has RAM with an old NCIX label. This was purchased long ago.

Sorry dude, you bought the wrong RAM type even though both are DDR2. The module you receive is for servers and workstations. You need non-ECC and non-buffered RAM modules...
