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.
