The XL761 does support PC133 memory up to 256MB modules. You would be wise to only use the PC133 stick - if you want to use more than 256MB of memory in the system, buy another stick of PC133 - you will also need to use the same brand of memory in both slots.
See here to purchase guaranteed compatible memory:

product spec link
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum...t=60468&lang=en
motherboard spec link
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum...t=60468&lang=en
both specs links say different for total ram amount so try the 256meg to see if seen properly or shows up as 128meg. don't need to use another pc133 ram as will only run as pc100.

On modern systems using DDR RAM that would be a problem, but your system is using sdram which isn't quite so finicky. There's a very good chance that both sticks will work together and you can try them without fear of harm to your system. I don't know what your system's bus speed is but that probably won't matter either since PC133 is back compatible to 100. The only thing that might make kind of neutral (no gain no loss) is if your systems chipset is limited to 64 MBs. Even still I would try it because there won't be any fires or explosions. Just be sure to shut down power first.


If it doesn't work than there is a good chance that you have a bad stick of memory.
