PC2300 memory? Upgrading memory.

[RAR]

I am upgrading a Dell GX260 (Intel 845g chipset on mobo) pc at work and I purchased a 512MB PC2100 stick for it which is what the crucial site recommended. After installing it I checked the memory and the original 256mb chip says Infineon PC2300. I didn't know they made a PC2300 (Crucial doesn't offer that). So my question is, if I upgrade some more of these same computers should I just get a 512mb PC2700 for it? Will the motherboard accept this even if it is not rated to? It obviously works with PC2300.

i assume that you meant 512mb PC2100 in your question. i would use the memory type that came with the machine for safety. the type recommended by cruical may be a good substitute. increasing the memory size from 256mb to 512mb could require a different type of memory, hence the difference in crucial's recommendation. it's best to sort this out before problems develop during use. check mob memory requirements carefully and see if dell can assist.
