pc2100 is not SDRAM. You want PC133 as it says. If your mobo only takes PC100 the 133 will downclock

You would have to find out how many memory banks it has.. most have 2 but some have 3 or even 4. If you have 2 then you can go 2 x 256 or 1 x 512 if you want to go the 512 route which I advise, as Windows is a memory hog.

if the mobo has empty slots, then it should work.
