is PC100 good enough for PC133?

I am currently in the process of building myself a new computer. Like multitudes of others I have purchased an Abit KT7A-Raid, Athlon 1.2 GH, FOP-32, 256 MB Crucial PC133 CL2, etc. Waiting impatiently, I received my first package today! To my surprise, Crucial has errored in sending me my ram ... they sent me PC100 CL2. So my question is: will this ram be good enough to set my FSB to 133 (assuming everything else in my computer is happy) and will I be able to overclock at 133? If it will work, I am not going to make a big deal ... otherwise I will call them back and ask them to correct the order.

Thanks in advance for your input.

When I upgraded from PC100 to PC133 my Q2 scores jumped 15 fps. Get what you paid for, then when your system has problems, you won't question if it is being caused by the memory being overclocked.

I love the way that Crucial does business. I called them up and said that something had been screwed up in my order. They said they will ship the right one today and I can sent the other one back as soon as possible.
