Depends on how much RAM you need.

If you run out of 256MB and the system begins to swap (say Windows XP), then it's well worth going for 640MB of PC100. Any RAM is faster than HDD used for swapping.

For memory testing I'd recommend memtest86+ which supports more chipsets and is able to report memory frequency, memory timings, and other useful information aswell. Useful when you play with memory speed and/or overclocking.
