yes.

nope.  i have mixed PC100 & PC133 sticks at mixed RAM sizes running fine on
my G4/400 AGP.  but under Apple System Profiler (OS 9.0) it reads all the
sticks as PC100!

> why is the PC 133 so much cheaper?

probably because the PC133 is the newer and faster chip and backward
compatible with the PC100, so manufacturers have switched most production to
the PC133's now.

why not add a 512MB stick, or two 256MB sticks?  you can never have too much
memory....
