huh? It's PC133 not pci33. Anyway, it really depends on what you're doing but for most tasks 256MB DDR will be faster.

Like AMD_man said, the DDR is faster, but if you plan to use more 256MB often, the 512MB would give a more constant speed, rather than dipping into the swapfile.

DDR is 5 to 10% faster than PC133

if you used not applications like video/photo editing which need 512Mo to 1Go 256Mo DDR is a little better

but you have to buy also a mb which support DDR & they are little more expensive
