hello memory experts --

I listen attentively, and learn quickly, so I was wondering if someone 
could help out a newbie to the memory subject.

Is there any harm in putting G4 memory (168 pin SDRAM DIMMs, 8 byte, 
non-parity, 3.3-volt, unbuffered, PC-133) in a Beige G3 (168-pin DIMMs 
3.3 volt (V), unbuffered, 64-bit wide SDRAM)?

I realize there is a height issue, but if it physically fits does this 
work?
Is there a chance the memory will be slowed by the system bus or the 
motherboard design? If mixed with an original PC-66 chip, but all at 
10ns, should the memory work together, or should I expect constant 
problems?

I understand that speed and voltage need to match, but I've been unable 
to find anything about putting faster memory in a slower machine. 

Why do this? I'm looking at eventual upgrades - OS X, faster CPU, or even 
a new machine - and I'm trying to determine any downside to installing 
the faster RAM.

Thank you all for your help.
Lee
