Sure, you can always use faster (pc133) ram where slower (pc100) is required. AFAIK you should be able to just add one 256Mb pc 133 dimm and it should just work. Make sure that you get sdram (pc133) and not DDR(pc1600/pc2100).

and if your computer does not support pc133 ram it'll run on pc100 then. the new ram is downward compatible so you have nothing to worry.
