If the processor you are running has a FSB of 100mhz, then yes.

However, if you are using a processor with a 133fsb i'm not sure b/c I delved to deep into overclocking ram. If I needed faster ram, I'd go out and get it.

But then again it may work in Asyncronous mode.

If it is high quality pc100 it may work, but if it is low quality, usually the bargain ram, it will very well not work. It would probably cause many lock ups, etc. All I can say is try it. But pc133 is as cheap if not cheaper so you might as well get it if you are using a 133mhz fsb processor

Yes. You only need to change the latency of the memory. Press del during boot up and increase the memory latency . Of course the performance can't be as good as PC133 but at least it is still working until you have money to upgrade.
