Download PC Wizard and see exactly what you already have in your system and how many slots are free.

I quite agree a very good program indeed, you may also try Belarc or Everest Home

Belarc = Simplistic

Everest = In Depth

PC Wizard = In Depth and Simplistic

Yup. Make sure the motherboard supports the number of modules you need/want to install.

PC2100 DDR SDRAM is rated to operate at 133MHz. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise: it's only by virtue of their DDR-ness that they're considered to run any faster.
