Just a silly question. Why do you want to trade some PC133 for PC100? Most, if not all PC133 memory is backwards compatible with PC100 mobo's.

PC133 memory is generally backward compatible, however some of the newer, high density PC133 memory modules don't work with the older motherboards that originally used PC100 due to BIOS issues.

Its just that I have these high density ones which wont work in the system i'm trying to upgrade. I figure if i just get PC100, i'll be safe and all. It's fine that i'll be downgrading on the trade. right now, i may end up w/ 1 stick.
