Motherboard-RAM compatibility

I committed the ultimate sin... I bought a comp from Dell about 8 months ago... I know I know, but I was dumb back then. Anyways, I want to upgrade to 1gb of RAM, but I dont know how to tell which RAM is compatible with the mb. I looked at the specs for the comp and I know it can hold 1gb of RAM. The RAM in it right now is 512mb pc2100. I want to upgrade to 1gb pc4000-4200. I was wondering if yhall could help me figure out if my mb could handle that speed.

The mb in it right now is:

Intel 845GL
DMA channels: seven
Interrupt levels: 24APIC mode
System BIOC chip: 2Mb (256kb)
System clock: 400mhz data rate

I dont know what most of that means (besides the system clock). Please help me figure out what kind of RAM it can support. Thanks.
