This shouldn't a no-no as long as you force your speed to be 100 - PC133
chips should run fine at 100.  How is your bios set now?  I'd force it
to 100 and then run memtest86 and see what happens.  You might even want
to try memtest86 before you change it to confirm that it fails now but
works if you drop it to 100.

I'd guess (and it's only a guess!) that "by spd" would probe the chips
to see what the speed is.  If the PC133 chip was found first, it might
have used the 133 setting.

Which chip did you pull to get everything working right?  Was it the
PC133 by any chance?
