I was trying to avoid this merely because of the price (+$10/stick).

A quick glance at the specs showed that they listed the same chip densities for
the PC100 and 'Mac approved 66mhz' 128MB sticks.  I'm not too eager to experiment
if I'm going to have to pay for return shipping.

But.. why would it function in a 66mhz system if it were having timing issues?

Aside from only seeing half of the capacity, it's rock solid in the Mac (as much
as running an old NetBSD-current can be considered rock solid).
