Hi wilbasket23,

Check Crucial.com, select your motherboard model and it will tell you exactly what kind of memory you need. Mostly like DDR266 (aka. PC2100). If you use the wrong kind nothing will happen, the motherboard either won't boot or the memory will "underclock" and run at slower speeds.

Hope that helps.
