Check Crucial out. There have been many reports
of PC133 not working in PC100 slots in laptops. The
potential problem seems to be the required CL=2
for the 100's, a spec the CL=3 133's may not handle well.
I realize in desktops using 133 instead of 100 is very
common, but does not seem to be the case in laptops.
I'd be very careful and buy it only if I could
return same if it doesn't perform well.
