Memory upgrade for Dimension 2400

Here are the specs (from the online service manual):

Memory Architecture: DDR SDRAM

Memory connectors: two

Memory capacities: 128-, 256-, or 512-MB

Minimum memory: 128 MB shared DDR SDRAM

NOTE: Between 32 and 64 MB of system memory may be allocated to support graphics, depending on system memory size and other factors.

Maximum memory: 1 GB

Memory type: PC2100 (266-MHz) or PC2700 (333-MHz) DDR SDRAM (non-ECC)

No, the two slots do not need the same type of memory, nor is there any advantage to making them the same.

If you have 1 x 256M now, you could add 1 x 512M to get 768M. That would probably be a good choice. If you have 2 x 128M now, you would need to take one out and would only get 640M total.

You could replace the memory with 2x512M to get 1G total, but that is more expensive and probably not that noticeable over 768M. I would probably go this route. If you have 2x128M, I would go with 1G total or 640M if you are on a budget.

According to the specs, it will not take 1G sticks.
