Memory Details:
Total No. of Slots: 2 (Currently One slot in use)
Installed RAM: 247 MB
Maximum RAM: 1024 MB
Front Side Bus: 400 MHZ
Details of memory already installed on your computer:
Memory Size Memory Type Memory Speed Dimm Type Dimm Type Detail
DIMM_1 256 MB DIMM 266 MHZ SDRAM Synchronous


Does this mean if I swap out the memory, I can have 1 gig in each slot for a total of 2 gigs, or 512 in each slot, for a total of 1 gig? What happens if I get more memory - does the computer just ignore it, or is it actively bad to have more than the recognized amount in there?

The memory looks to be an old type, SDRAM - does that mean that DDR isn't compatible?

Edit: Running a Dell Dimension 2400, with XP.  Crucial's matching page gave me the following specs as compatible, which is why I'm a bit confused - isn't DDR incompatible with SDRAM;
