Where did you get this "133mb speed" number from?
"133 mb" is not a speed figure, it's a memory capacity number.

The same question applies. What is the entire sentence your system profiler 
gives you, when it states your "memory speed is 100?
100 what? Open System Profiler again and copy down the heading and 
description of where it says "100." It's probably MHz.
If so, that's your limitation.

This is additional RAM you purchased to install, after you bought your computer?
If you look at the package again, I think you'll find it says "133 MHz" not 
"133 mb."

I think both Quicksilver models of the PowerMac came with "PC 133 SDRAM" 
memory modules.
Those are described in the literature as 168 pin, 100 MHz RAM modules.

There's a lot of good information on this site:
