It's always best not to mix and match RAM speeds and manuf's., and also to stay away from bargain RAM.
However, if the proposed RAM is from the same manuf as the existing RAM, then the PC 2700 should work with the PC 2100, but it will run at the PC 2100's slower speed.

Some good brands to consider: Micron (Crucial), Kingston, Corsair, Mushkin, Samsung
is a good place to start looking, but like ski said, beware of "house" or "generic" brands. If you decide to chance them, make sure you get a good return policy from the vendor if it doesn't work.

You'll also find that PC3200 is practically the same price as PC2700 RAM, so you may as well get that instead. It'll future-proof your system more.
