To some degree it doesn't matter, it either works or it doesn't. The speed of 
memory transfers is determined by the motherboard setting. If it's set at 
100mhz then pc100 should work fine. PC133 won't go any faster. It may be 
possible to get a tiny improvement if you fiddle with timing and latency that 
pc133 memory works with, but pc100 doesn't. If the motherboard is set to 
133mhz, some pc100 memory may still work anyway, and pc133 should always 
work. Buy memory to match your motherboard. It's like the speed rating on the 
tires on your car. Better tires won't make it go faster, it's the engine that 
makes it go.
