there is no problem buying the faster RAM for when you upgrade in the future.
As stated above however it will only run at either:
[1] the speed of the slowest DDR RAM you already have installed. Here it does not matter what your board will support, if your existing 512 runs at 133 any other DDR RAM you buy will also run at 133
[2] a Maximum of 266
Bear in mind that some boards do not support much RAM, so it is worth checking the max capacity. Also check that there is not a particular order you must go in:
eg.
I have 768 meg of DDR RAM, one 512 and one 256. If I put the 256 in socket one it will not work, as I must put the bigger piece of RAM in socket one.
