Hi Bob.
Chances are that you CAN upgrade your computer, but you gotta do a little bit of research. There is a good chance that your computer doesn't recognize the 200mhz correctly since after all when the 133mhz processor was manufactured (yours) 200mhz didn't exist. Sometimes you gotta change some jumpers or similar on your board. I can't tell you exactly what to chance since it's board/system is different. Take a look at the manuals that came with your computer. There should be a section somewhere about upgrading your processor. It will probably tell you which, if any, jumpters you need to change.
Good luck!
