Which memory chip to add?
I would like to purchase some more memory to my win2k desctop machine.
I'm using this PC for two things:
A. Running Oracle database benchmarks.
B. Runnig Simulation and FPS games.
1. Which memory chip (regardless of price) would be the best?
2. How can I found out if my hardware supports that kind of memory and I'm not
just throwing my money away? (can it be done via software or should I open
the cover and use a flashlight)?
Thanks

Doesn't look like you have anything to worry about. Just get DDR RAM, either PC100 or PC133 speed, in either 64, 128, 256, or 512 megabyte size.
head over to www.crucial.com and plug in your info...they will let you know waht is compatible

Do you know if it supports RDRAM or just DDR?

If you do much overclocking, you'd want to get something like a Corsair memory chip. But there's not much need for that. You can go eith whatever brand you like, although Crucial and Kingston are the best brands, IMO.
