Upgrading RAM in a Gateway E-2000 series desktop.

Hi, I am looking to upgrade the RAM in my computer, I went to google and found this site: http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner...CDB97931D926C3 I used the system scanner and it gave me those upgrades as my options. These are my system specs:

Maximum Memory Capacity: 2048MB
Currently Installed Memory: 256MB
Available Memory Slots: 1
Number of Banks: 2
Dual Channel Support: No
CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel
CPU Family: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz Model 2, Stepping 7
CPU Speed: 1999 MHz

I want to buy a matching pair of 1GB sticks, but I also went to another site that I saw in one of the other threads here: http://www.memoryx.net/gatewaye2000.html and it says PC2100 instead of PC2700, what's the difference and which one is really compatible with my system? Thanks.

IMPORTANT! Before You Buy Memory
the pc2100 will match your cpu speed, but the pc2700, would be [or should be,] backwards compatible with your board.

Thanks! I went with the 2700 (it is backwards compatible) and it works great.
