  i was planning to buy more RAM for my PC but i am confused on if this is a DDR2 or a DDR RAM
  
  because i checked out a few sites and it states that my RAM is a DDR RAM

  Click on the Memory tab. If you are still unsure, post a screenshot of that here.

  a bit blur on how to find out because of the program and also first time really finding out about RAM...all along i never did check all of this specs...most of the time rarely need to check

  All LGA 775 socket pentium D uses DDR2 RAM.As for why is it 533MHz instead of the 266MHZ, read this

  It's DDR2 because CPU-Z says so.
  
  To check the bus speed, check the module name in the second pic and refer to the table at the chips' table in this wiki page. Or just divide that number by 8 and round it off to the closest 133. (4300 / 8 = 537.5 ~= 533)
