[G4] PC133 RAM in PC100 slots?

[C D T]

Someone please nail me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the bus speed is 
the limiting factor.  Even in a machine that has a faster bus speed and 
can use faster memory, the machine can only work at the speed of the 
slowest memory module installed.  That is why you usually don't mix 
speeds.  PC133 is generally backward compatible and will function in 
PC100 spec'd computers - but at the slower speed.
