[plug] (OT) - Hardware - Motherboard and RAM

One of our computers has an AMD K6-2 300MHz CPU.

Startup shows the motherboard is an AIVG+-U1-0902.

The User's manual is for an AIVG+ V1.0C

In the manual, it says 
Main Memory-Two 72-pin SIMM sockets and three 168-pin DIMM sockets; 
Memory Type->DIMMS:EDO RAM or SDRAM; 
DIMM Size: 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB.

The RAM chip is 64MB, and has on it:
Legend L086458 64MB Sync 3.3 100MHz

The question is:
Will that computer be able to use (is it compatible with) the PC-133 RAM,
that is currently selling for around $60 per 256MB?

Thanks in anticipation.

(By the way; someone was asking about upgrading a P-133 CPU, using the
same motherboard that the person was currently using; this M/B takes P 90
to 200 MHz, P55C (MMX) 90 to 233 MHz, AMD K6-2 300 to 450 MHz, IDT Winchip
C6 180 to 225 MHz, or IDT Winchip2-3D 200 to 266MHz; so, there is a fair
range of CPU's, that could upgrade the P 133, depending on that 
motherboard)
