133mhz RAM on 100mhz FSB motherboard?

[Wheatmaster]

will 133mhz ram work on a 100mhz FSB motherboard?

Absolutely

Some "high density" 133 MHz ram won't work in older chipset motherboards. For example, Kingston Value Max 133 MHz /256 MB ram, which has chips on only one side of the memory stick, won't work in an Abit BH6, a BX-chipset motherboard. But PNY Technologies 133 MHz/ 256 MB ram , which has chips on both sides of the memory stick, will work in the BH6. Both types will work in more recent chipset motherboards.

i810 doesn't take high density ram either

That depends on the chipset/motherboard in question. many will support running the mem clock at FSB + PCI clock. It's especially common on chipsets for the P6 core.
