According to Mactracker, the Gigabit only needs PC100.

I've seen ads which imply their RAM sticks operate at CL2 if PC100 is  
requested, and at CL3 if PC133:

e.g. (maybe) http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/ 
133SD512328/

My understanding is that PC133 is higher grade, so using it at lower  
requirements is OK.

It might depend on the manufacturer or brand of RAM stick, too.  
Cheaper ones my not switch to lower PC100 from the PC133 ... AKAIK.

Like Jonas said, try it. I would also test it sandwiched in between 2  
known good ones, in the Gigabit, using applejack in single user mode  
running memtest.

My thoughts on the subject ...
