The 133 is running at 100 since that is what the MBoard supports...if you are having no issues leave it.

Try going to crucial website. they will scan your PC and tell you what memory they recommend. very good company. I just purchased 2GB off them worked first time on fitting. By the way if you fit new memory it should be in matching pairs, ie 2 the same type and value.

if you put in a faster ram speed it will automatically go down to the speed of the mother board. You shouldn't have any problems at all.
