whats the differnce between PC2700,DDR PC3200,DDR PC4000.
The bigger the PC number the faster - so PC4000 is faster than PC3200 and PC2700.
However your motherboard will only run the memory at PC2100 speeds. So even if you bought PC4000 it would only be running at PC2100 speeds.
The reason I say get PC2700 is that its 2.5v, which is the same as the specification for PC2100. The other modules on offer are 2.6v and 2.8v. This may or maynot cause problems, some module/motherboard combinations are more picky than others. However, seen as you would get no speed benifit from PC4000 modules, you might as well play it safe and get PC2700.

From the list you should be purchasing the DDR PC2700. I would recommend only buying the 1GB modules, there would be no point in buying 512MB modules.
Therefore buy either one or two of these CT12864Z335. One will give you 1.25GB of memory, assuming you leave one of your old modules in the computer. Two will obviously give you 2GB.
