Could my pc have 2 diffrent kinds of slots? 2 for RDRAM and 2 for DDR RAM? I dont really want 2 spend that much, no more than $200.

From the horse's mouth:

Memory
Architecture RDRAM
RIMM sockets four
RIMM capacities 64-, 128-, 256-, and 512-MB RDRAM
Standard RAM 128 MB (minimum)
Maximum RAM 2 GB
BIOS address F8000h

You have to buy compatible RDRAM but it doesn't have to be from Dell, but it's fairly rare these days so not a lot of places sell it.

I've already given you the motherboard specs. You don't have 2 types of slots, just RDRAM. Dell's in the business of saving money wherever possible, so they wouldn't waste resources by adding different memory slots and most likely a second northbridge or some convoluted solution. I've never heard of a dual RDRAM / DDR board, doubt it's easy to do.

I'll say again:
