Pretty much all I know is that PC133 memory is backwards compatible
with PC100 memory. That is, you can put PC133 memory into a board
that wants PC100 and the board won't know the difference. I actually
tried that on my old Compaq (bought off-shelf in '98, who knows when
it was assembled) when I accidentally fried the memory that came with
it and CompUSA only had the PC133 available (it was a sale -- buy 64MB
for $30 and get a $30 rebate).
