It may take that type of RAM, but those old machines are picky. It's hit and miss.

Ok, thanks. Is there any way i could update the BIOS to see if its supported in a later version?

It would probably involve floppies. You can see if a newer BIOS revision is available.

Thanks. How can i find out what bios i have? All the guides on the internet need Windows installed.

Boot into the BIOS and see what revision it is.

It wont let me boot into the BIOS because of the incompatable RAM and i dont have any compatable RAM for it.

Well you wouldn't be able to do a BIOS update then anyway. You need to find a local place that has that type of RAM and just try it until it works.
