PC2100 = 266MHz DDR RAM

The main question is how much total memory and maximum module size the motherboard supports. We'll need PC or motherboard info to pinpoint. In all liklihood you'll be safe with two 512MB DDR266 modules. The Crucial configurator is a good place to check (see comment from moondist above).

Michaelsoft73,

Make sure you read the comments of others before you post.  Moondist suggested the site and scan already.  If you do have something to add to another's post then just make sure you give credit, like Willcomp did above.

It is a good suggestion though. :)

@moondist -- you got shafted. Post a question in Community Support requesting a moderator take a look if you want to set things straight.
willcomp- Thanks for the advice.
Soz guys, didn't mean to cause any trouble, just didn't read all the posts.  Yes Moondist did give the answer before me, so yeah give him the points, I didn't get any points for my answer anyway.

Soz moondist.
