I would like to swap out one of my 256 RAM Modules  for a 512. I have a Dell Dimension Desktop 4500  with 2 Banks that currently are stocked with 256 MB Modules.

I went to Crucial.com and their memory tool told me that I should use the following for my computer:

http://www.crucial.com/store/MPartspecs.Asp?mtbpoid=78627831A5CA7304&WSMD=Dimension+4500+Series&WSPN=CT256055
 
*  Crucial Part Number: CT256055
   * Module Size: 512MB
   * Package: 184-pin DIMM
   * Feature: DDR PC2100
   * Configuration: 64Meg x 64
   * DIMM Type: UNBUFFERED
   * Error Checking: NON-ECC
   * Speed: 266
   * SDRAM Timings: CL=2.5
   * Specs: DDR PC2100 • CL=2.5 • UNBUFFERED • NON-ECC • DDR266 • 2.5V • 64Meg x 64




I checked on NewEgg.com for a better price and they do not stock that exact module but they do have this one, will it work adn will there be any difference in performance?  It is $20 cheaper so if I can use it instead that would be great.

No difference. You motherboard is configured for any DDR PC2100 266MHz memory.

no your system board will not handle the ram at it full capacity anyway. go with the cheapest you can find.
