Can I use PC 100 memory and PC 133, my board supports both PC100 and PC133 but I'm using PC133 what will happen if I use a PC100 memory chip?
 
Huck, as long as your processor uses a 100mhz bus and doesn't require 133mhz most mboards will allow you to mix. The only hitches I've seen are when one chip is an ECC memory correcting chip and the other one is Non-ECC, and on a few boards I've run into the PC100 chip chip had to be in the first memory slot followed by the PC133 chip.
 
If the board allows it the memory will run only as fast as the slowest stick.The PC133 will run as a PC100.
