The main problem is that the older stuff is 168-pin and certainly over here in the UK that is hard to get now, would have to be an eBay purchase as almost all retailers only stock the 184-pin stuff these days. The quick way to check is to look at the bottom of the DIMM, if it has 2 notches in it then it is 168, only one notch makes it 184.
