For XP I recommend 1GB. For Vista 2 GB.
Your computer uses an unusual type of memory that is extremely expensive. Most memory cost $40/GB yours costs $460/GB!! WOW!
per crucial
256MB, 184-pin RIMM, PC800 memory module $114.99
512MB, 184-pin RIMM, PC800 memory module $242.99
(you must install in pairs)
eBay has a less expensive alternative.
512MB PC800 184 pin RIMM kit of two 256MB modules 45ns - New!! $72 Buy it now price

One 512MB memory module ($242) is more than your Pentium 4 x 2.26Ghz computer is worth on eBay.
The price of 1 GB ($460) is not far from the cost of a new computer.
For about $575 you can get a new computer with:
Vista Home Premium
Core 2 Duo 2 GHz or faster
2 GB RAM
300+GB Hard Drive
Integrated Video, Sound, Ethernet
Spare PCI Express X16 slot for future video upgrades
Keyboard and mouse
Warranty
No Monitor and speakers
===========================
The Dell 8200 was sold with two different FSB speeds, 400MHz and 533 MHz. It was also available with or without ECC memory; you can not mix ECC and non ECC memory.
To find out what type of RAM you need go to Crucial and press "Scan My System"> It will determine all your upgrade options.

Ram should be pretty cheap nowadays. I would spend ~ $50 for 1g or $20-25 for 256mb of laptop memory.
Trying checking out newegg.com they always have great deals.
