Well, you're going to have to open the case and first verify if you are using SDRAM (pushes straight in) or EDO RAM (held in place with spring clips, inserted at an angle, folded upright). If it's EDO RAM, be prepared to shell out some $$$ as it's expensive and IMHO, not worth it. If it is SDRAM, take a look at the chipset. If it's an Intel ****TX, then PC100 RAM should work fine. If it's an Intel ****VX, you're better off trying to find some PC66 as I stated earlier, PC100 is fussy at best on a VX chipset. If it's another chipset other than Intel, it may be trial and error between PC66 and PC100.
