I traded my PC2700 for a PC2100 and it worked. I opened the box, put in the memory and turned the Linux Box back on. Ubuntu booted as normal with the added memory. I went to the Internet, read a little, and found the Command Line command FREE. I opened TERMINAL and ran FREE it now show 512mbs. That's better. I'd like to have taken it all the way to 1 GB but this machine will ultimately end up living with someone else :-(
Time to do upgrade? 5 minutes, opening and closing the Box took 4.5 of those :--)
After this experiment I will be building a Linux Box to keep and it will have a Gig of ram.

Another useful command is "top". Later the command "ps -ef" will be a life saver!
