Memory bus will work at the speed of the slowest component. Putting

PC100
in a system that is otherwise PC133 will slow it down.


Nope. It's actually a system with a synchronous 100HMz system bus (Intel
810 chipset, 700MHz Celeron). Check the link I posted. ;-)

PC133 memory is overspec, though probably more available. It will run at
100MHz speeds on the system, save for the few DRAM chips that are sadly
incompatible with Intel 810/810E and BX chipsets. Best the OP either try
with what he has been given, or check websites like Crucial or Kingston
for their recomendation and system tested products.

Wasn't posting as to what he should use. Just that 100 shouldn't be used if
the system is otherwise 133.
