My 5 year old pc has 256MB ram and I would like to buy new ram (because with WinXP it runs very slowly). But I don't know which ram to buy.

1) I've installed the program "Everest" and it gives the following information:
Motherboard Name: Asus P4S266-VX
If i click on SPD Everest shows: DDR SDRAM, PC2100 (133MHz)
---
2) I've also installed the program "CPU-Z" and it says the following:
SPD (Slot #1)
Module Size: 256 MBytes
Max Bandwidth: PC2100 (133 MHz)
Frequency 100MHz 133MHz
---
3) Then I went to the website "crucial.com" which says:
# Maximum Memory Capacity: 1536MB
# Currently Installed Memory: 256MB
# Available Memory Slots: 1
# Number of Banks: 2
# Dual Channel Support: No
# CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel
# CPU Family: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz Modell 2, Stepping 4
# CPU Speed: 2018 MHz
On the left hand side of the website it says:
Currently installed memory:
[256MB] [EMPTY]
Each memory slot can hold DDR PC2700 with a maximum of 1GB per slot.*
*Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory.
