The problem that you are going to run into is that your cpu will only run at 750MHz since the 1GHz is determined by jumper times FSB. Since the jumper of your chip is 7.5 (7.5 x 133 = 997.5 ~1000) and your ram is only 100MHz the processor will only run at the 75o MHz. What you can do is either get some PC133 SDRam or you can try unlocking the processor via the pencil trick and up the jumper to 10. That way you would get 10 x 100 for 1.0GHz. The problem arises that your motherboard BIOS may not let you change the jumper.
Your board may also allow you to run the CPU FSB and RAM at different speeds. (thus you ay be able to run your CPU at 133x7.5 or whatever and still run the ram at 100).
Other than that, I would suggest you just return it and get the right ram.
Try running the RAM at 133MHz and see what you get. Most good PC100 RAM will run at 133 CAS 3 with no problems at all. If it doesn't work then take the RMA back and get a stick of PC133.
The RAM I got is Crucial 128MB DDR 1600. Is this considered good RAM to work at 133Mhz bacause I've had the system bus jumper set to 133Mhz the whole time. So if this was good RAM that would work at 133Mhz, would that force the processor to run at 1Ghz or still run at 750Mhz?
