Default PC2100 and PC2700
I am looking to upgrade my DDR ram to over 1 GB, but i don't know which is the best ram out there. I have looked to see that my current ram is PC2100 but would it be ok to buy PC 2700 or even higher?

Thanks for the welcome.
I haven't got my motherboard manual, but i can tell what PC i have if it will help?
I have an emachines 770 and i've looked on the internet to see if it is compatible, but i can't find anything.
