Ok, Your RAM type is EDO and the design of the chip is called a 72 pin SIMM
module. A DIMM module ond the other hand is a newer design of the memory
module (168 pins). SD-RAM is the kind of RAM which is typically use to build
SD-RAMs. (I think you can also have EDO RAMs in form of DIMM modules, but
I'm not sure).
You have to look in your motherboard specification, wether the long black
slot is a DIMM slot and wether you can use SM-RAM.
