My desktop has 256MB memory, and nowadays the swap area gets used once in a while (RedHat 8.0 together with Mozilla, httpd and mysqld).
So, I would like to add more memory to the computer.


The motherboard is of 2002 vintage (478 socket, P-4 1.7GHz) and the memory is a single PC-2100 256MB DDRAM module (PC-2100 is rated at 266MHz).

I would like to know whether it is OK to use a 512MB PC-2700 (333MHz) module in the same system, and whether I can mix both DDRAMs (to have total of 768MB).

The motherboard is BioSTAR MBP4F/03/R04 (or maybe it was M8P4F or U8858).
Anyway, I found a mention of U8858 but no further data.

According to the U8858 booklet, which I got with the motherboard, it can use PC-1600 and PC-2100 memory modules.

Where can I read an up-to-date introduction to those memory issues (PC-2100 vs. PC-2700 vs. 2-year old motherboards)?
Thanks,
