Nope, none of them will work. Theoretically, your system could run
under-clocked with some of them, but if it even works, it'll slow you down.

You need PC133 SDRAM, no larger than 128MB. Stick to Kingston or Crucial
brands. -Dave

I checked and it says I need PC133 · CL=2 · Unbuffered ·
Non-parity · 133MHz · 3.3V · 16Meg x 64.

Question: Can a CL=3 chip used for a CL=2 designed system?

Thank you.

Generally, yes, as long as that is the only difference. -Dave

You shouldn't as cl=3 is slower memory and may be unreliable at the
faster
timings.

Look, go to www.Crucial.com enter in your computer make and model, and
it will tell you the memory you need. It's as simple as that.
