   Huh?  I do this all the time.  The reverse is definately true, but
I can't remember ever having problems underclocking memory.  I'm
pretty sure I've even run PC133 in a PC66 system.
   It is of course possible for a system to detect the memory type and
refuse to use something it thinks is too fast.  I haven't seen it
(again, only the reverse), but that may be what you've run in to before.

When choosing between two evils, I always like to take the one I've never
tried before.
