It would help to know the make and model/and or your motherboard, but this link should provide you with a place to start.

dcc,
I'm sorry, I post the Computer Summary before reading http://www.computermemoryupgrade.net/
I don't know that 'most' of all my unanswered questions are there. lol.
But I've got one question... If I buy/upgrade RAM... what infos of my computer do I need to tell the seller?

Your motherboard is a Jetway P4MFU533
Your motherboard has two memory slots, and a capacity of 2GB.
The type of memory you have is PC2100 DDR SDRAM.
If you go to most any major memory manufacturer like Kingston or Cosair, and use this information,they will be able to provide you with a compatible module for you board.

Oh ok... just one question, is it more expensive to upgrade[in my case, 96MB], or just to buy a new one?

I don't know where you live, so I don't know about prices and availability in you location, but usually I would say it's cheaper to buy new memory, opposed to buying a new computer, I'm guessing that this was your last question. If you go to the link below you will find the page has Memory Search in the upper left corner, it that box you will find three choices just to the right of the "find" button, click on Memory Type. This page has the Memory Configurator, in the box below scroll down untill you see DDR PC2100 and click on it and then click on find. This page reads Search Results, in the box below click on 184-pin DIMM, and then find. Now you have a list of 266MHz DDR PC2100 CL2 DIMM modules, stay with the nonECC and you should be good to go. http://www.kingston.com/
