You will have better performance with 256 MB of DDR.

The DDR has twice the bandwidth, and you probably don't need more than 256MB, so that would be your best option. Now, the terminology, if you only had 131mbs memory you WOULD have a performans problem (mbs is megabits per second, PC2100 has 2100 megabytes per second). The board reports your memory in bytes though, as 131,072 bytes. Devide that by 1024, not 1000, to get Megabytes, and you'll end up with a normal number, 128MB.
