Yes, it will just run at the 100Mhz bus speed.

Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

I have 133 MHz SDRAM in my 100 MHz bus iMac and it's working fine. I have read about 133 MHz RAM that won't slow down to 66 MHz (or maybe it was 100 MHz?), so you might want to make sure you can return it if doesn't work.

I think Apple actually recommends using 133 on 100Mhz bus iMacs (at least the FP iMacs).

The speed rating (PC133/100/66) is a maximum. It will function fine at the lower speed.
The only consideration is that at the same time clock speeds increased, so did chip densities, so some high-capacity modules aren't properly recognized by older computers. (E.g. some PC100 Macs like my blue G3 can't use 512MB modules.)
