Question regarding laptops and RAM

I have a Dell Inspiron 7000. I was looking online to see what type of RAM it takes. TUrns out, there are 3 types of Inspiron 7000 models. One takes SDRAM at 100mhz. One of the other models takes it at 66mhz.

I called Dell tech support, and they tell me that my machine will take the 100mhz RAM, though it says 66 online. If I put the faster RAM in the laptop, will it work? I know with PCs, RAM is backwards compatible, but was not sure in the sense of laptops. I just dont want to mess anything up. Am I correct that it is backwards compatible?
