Does system profiler ever report incorrect RAM speeds?

I have G4 466. 133 mhz bus. I had some ram from another computer that has a sticker saying PC133 on it. The computer boots up and seems to run without any problems. System profiler reports the stick as being pc100 though. Could it be misreading the stick? If it is actually pc100 would it be readily apparent that it's the wrong speed or would it take more heavy usage or some extra time before messing up?



Thanks

    Profiler isn't perfect.



    It reports some of the new intel minis as running 256MB VRAM (intel says the GMA950 can take up to 224 MB of system RAM + overhead, so it should be theoretically possible) although according to Apple, officially their implementation of the integrated GMA950 only ever allocates 80 MB (including overhead, actually 64MB as VRAM) from shared memory to VRAM tasks. Ergo, Profiler is incorrectly reporting RAM/VRAM.



    YMMV
