PC100 vs PC133

[Guest]

Can I use PC133 SDRAM in my computer that says to use PC100 SDRAM. The PC133 is less expensive. What do you think?

Most of the time, it should be no problem, as these DIMMs are generally backward-compatible.

Yes. It isALWAYS backward compatable.
Check to find out what the maximum size per slot is, some older motherboards could only use up to 128MB, some 256MB, some 512MB. You would feel kind of stupid if you bought a 256, it didn't work, then you returned it and paid more for a PC100 256, only to find out that you had a 128MB/slot limmit!
