Right now I have 2-128MB Mushkin Rev1.5 running a Thunderbird 900@933 with a 133FSB with the default SPD.
What are these options and which can I try?

Also, I'm giving this memory to my nephew and replacing with 1-256MB Crucial PC133 CL=2.
Will those options change when I swap the SDRAM?

The SPD setting uses the little rom chip on the memory modual to determine the settings for your memory. If I remember right a bank is 64MB, so you would adjust 2-bank or 4-bank interleve according to how much memory you have.
