Exactly, no one in their right mind should knowingly install Vista on their computer. Get 7 or stick with XP.This^
And if you have PC2-2100, wouldn't you, in theory at least, be able to run 4200 in that machine...only you wouldn't see the full advantages of doing so unless the bios recognizes the faster speed?
If you want 4200 I have some used sticks laying around here (2 512's and 1 1Gig) that I'd let go for like $5 each

Only if the memory is backward compatible and able to run at the slower speed. Otherwise I think it either wouldn't recognize the memory being in there at all or give a memory error during POST. I think anyway. Like I said, it's been a while.
You can buy just the upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium for like $110 online. It's totally worth it. If you can run XP on the machine, you won't need any additional memory to run 7.

or you can DL a RTM version of 7 and crack it....not that I'd condone such behavior of course.

Well yeah that's your problem. Why would you want to put Vista on it?She downloaded a pretty nasty virus so i just reformatted her hardrive and i have the OS for my Dell laptop which is vista home premium so i just used that and the product key from my old laptop. But vista needs 1 gig to atleast run ok and with my card she has like a total of 767 i think. and its pretty slow...

2 ?'s...
Can i run pc2-2100 and the 4200 at the same time? her motherboard has 4 spots for ram.
If the 4200 will work i will take um... cuz 2 gigs would speed it up a bit haha. But would i see all of thoughs 2 gigs?

Download and crack 7....cheaper/easier than buying ram.

are you sure it's ddr2 and pc2100? i find it nearly impossible to believe that such slow speeds would be ddr2. i think we need to get some straight information, first. -
