Question about PC133 Ram

[Musicman6425]

Here is a simple one...
I have bought a RAM chip, PC133, for when I build my second computer. Until then, I am using the PC133 is my Gateway computer which is 66MHz. I have heard that PC133 will work fine on my computer, but I have also heard that it may cause my computer to respond slower (God Forbid) and may freeze. What do you all think?

You also have to be careful about the specs of the RAM. A lot of PC66 DIMMs are specced at 5 volts and PC133 are specced out at 3.3 volts (or is it the other way around?). Either way, double check that...

Thank you SufferinSuccotash,
How does everyone else feel?

I have one 16mb chip of 66mhz and one 32mb chip of 66mhz and added one 64mb chip of 100mhz to my p2 and it is just as stable as with only the two 66 mhz chips in. Mine ran faster with the adition of the extra 64 mb so I think you should be fine.

EDIT: grammar
added the extra ram 3 months ago.

any performance loss from going to PC133 may be if it is CAS3 and not CAS2.
