        That depends on the chipset your board has. A few can run the memory bus at
100 while keeping the chip clocked at an FSB of 133 but most won't. I don't
recommend trying it, if it does end up working you will loose performance,
more likely it won't boot though because the PC100 memory is being
overclocked too much. TTYL
