You can, but they MUST be high quality DIMMs, like Crucial, or Kingston (and not ValueRAM either). To run at 133MHz, you may also have to set SDRAM Data Driving mode to Strong in the BIOS.

The i815E chipset's specification allows 4 rows of RAM (2 double sided DIMMs) to run at 133MHz, and all 6 (3 double sided DIMMs) at 100MHz. You can get around it with what I have told you above though.

My CUSL2 doesn't like more than 3 banks of memory at 133Mhz FSB or higher. Some people have been able to fully load their boards with 6 banks of memory and run over 133Mhz, while others seem stuck at 3 banks max.

It's an ole' board, but a good one.
