using PC133 is normally not a problem.

However, take the RAM DIMM out and look at it.  If it only has chips along one 
side of the PCB, this might be causing the problem.  This "single sided RAM" 
usually shows up as only half capacity in older systems (though in this case, 
"older" could be as recent as 2 years or so).
