I'm looking into expanding the memory in an AlphaPC164SX.  (Truth
be told it doesn't run FreeBSD.)  As it tends to be with technology
disappearing from the marketplace, PC100 memory is now more expensive
than PC133.  Are there any practical or theoretical objections to
using PC133 memory in a 164SX?

I'm under the impression that the only difference between PC100 and
PC133 are timing parameters, where PC133 is faster, so this shouldn't
be a problem, but maybe there are hidden issues such as power
consumption or I'm missing something altogether.
