Yes you can, the PC133 RAM will just simply run at 100mhz.
Also it is recommended that you place the biggest stick of ram (MB wise) closest to the processor. that way, it wont have to run back and forth between the 2 sticks because the front one isnt big enough. just a little tip.

Good question. Yes, you can use the pc100 ram with pc133 ram. The memory for the ram will only run at the slower bus speed, however, and you will not show a complete memory stick possibly.
Remember to put the pc133 ram stick first slot.

yes but the memory will only run as fast as the slowest stick if the PC133 can slow down to PC100

Sometimes PC133 RAM will not work with PC100 RAM, but usually it does.

Maybe.
Some older PC mainboards cannot deal with the high density chips used on some PC133 DIMMs. PC100 DIMMs are always built with lower-density chips.
Check your mainboard documentation to be sure.

Yes, however, it'll run at the speed of the slowest stick. In this case, it'll run at 100Mhz.
