I have bought some new type SDRAM (256Mb, 133, NCP) although seller
told me it wouldn't work on pre-2001 motherboards (at that time I
didn't know mobo was made in 2000). so it doesn't work. windows
crashes on boot with blue screen and BIOS doesn't show text (!), only
colored boxes

I was told by salesman it would work at least as 128Mb. Since it
doesn't, does it mean SDRAM is broken? I got some guarantee, and
hopefully they will give me new one but it will be of the same type
If that new module works as 128Mb, is it safe to use it? (computer is
online 24/7)
BTW, I have only two slots and here are some details of my system,
just in case it helps you to help me

From some checking, the intel 810 takes up to PC100 memory.
Here is a link to the PNY page:

If you cannot find your MB number, do a search on a Intel 810E.
Notice the note on the home page about PC133memory being no longer
backward compatible with PC100. SO i would say you need true PC100
memory. Maybe some further checking on single or double sided chips
would be in order to. Some poking around the Intel site on the 810
chipset specs might give you some more ideas.
Also, i would strongly advice upgrading your Windows XP to SP2 and all
the latest updates.
