these DIMMs are running at 100MHz (underclocked) so they perform the same. if you could make them run at 133 the CPU would also be OC'd by 33.33% and therefore probably freeze up. that speed generally is beyond what the CPU can do. and the fans can't take it.
some of the G3's can be OC'd well, but usually less than 25%. to run RAM at 133 would require some MLB mods. if you enjoy working with surface-mount resistors smaller than a grain of rice,and soldering them, go for it. you must keep the CPU speed the same while increasing the FSB speed by a third. must decrease the multiplier. some japanese guy posted the settings on many macs years ago. must keep an eye on clock speeds of PCI and /or AGP buses ( is there AGP on a wallstreet?) the MLB tweaks would allow it maybe. but you would get a 12% boost in RAM performance which mans about a 3% boost in overall system performance. and thats not great. only a theoretical novelty. not a very useful hack/mod.
