Yes your RAM will work with that motherboard but it will only operate at PC2100 speeds (AKA: DDR266 (I think)).

Yup should run fine at 266DDR. Might able to get a little performance boost by setting the ram timings in your bios to faster timings since the ram is running under spec. Worth checking it out..

Yeah with any luck if it is for example a CAS 2.5 333 Stick, you may be able to get it to run at CAS 2 266Mhz.
