I have 128M PC100 RAM and I want to upgrade my computer to more memory. I saw now there are PC133 everywhere especially for the RAM chips larger than 256M. So can I just bought one PC133 memory and use it together with my PC100 memory? Thanks a lot.

No problem
In fact you usually can run your PC100 in a PC133 machine if its good quality.

yeah you can but i would recommend you run your memory at 100mhz. Also, put the PC133 module in the first dimm slot and the PC100 module in the second slot.
