Yeah, just make sure its SDRAM. Your pc only supports up to 512mb RAM (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?product=58464&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=&docname=bph06582#) so make sure you dont go over that.

It shouldnt be a problem actually. If you are running PC133 in a system designed for PC100, the ram will just run at a lower speed.

ah no way? That's cool....too bad pc100 is cheaper then pc133...I really need more ram but 133 is so expensive and so crappy...*mumbles* I guess that makes sense if it't 168pin sdram.
