Adding old RAM

Hello,

I recently decided to finally scrap my PIII .
I scrounged a HYundai 128Mb (HY57V658020B TC-10S) from this and think of inserting it in my advent3407.
In the advent 3407 I have now 2x256Mb SDRAM PC133 CL-2 Non parity, and I have one open slot.
As far as I know the Hyundai one is also SDRAM PC133.
Can I safely put this in the open slot?
Is it going to improve my pc or should I just not bother?
Does anybody knows a site where to find more info about these older RAM types?

Thanks
FVC

Not sure if that stick of RAM will work in the Advent, but if the computer isn't going to the swap file that much adding another stick of RAM isn't going to do much. 512MB of RAM is enough for most situations.

gotta be worth trying since it wont cost u anything and u have a spare slot. u wont see a night and day difference in performance but it would be a little better.

if it doesn't work just take it out again.. can't do any damage AFAIK?
