Memory Speed MHz: 266MHz is installed. can i go to 333 without having to tweak bios, i dont know how to do that

I would go here http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/
get a scan and they will make suggestions. You do not have to buy their brand of memory, just follow the suggested type of RAM.
Dell's bios cannot be changed, so you have to work with that.

If it's currently using DDR PC2100(DDR266), it can also use DDR PC2700(DDR333).

It does NOT support 2 GB of RAM. It supports 1 GB - 512 MB in each slot.
