So... carbon apps don't always work in OS9. Office 10 was made for OS X, but it was not rewritten in cocoa becuase it would have taken too long. So it was carbonized for X and they added alot of X Only features therefore it will not run in OS 9.
From what i understand if you put PC-133 memory in a system that is designed for PC-100 the PC-133 ram will run the speed of PC-100. So the ram will run slower than its designed to run, but its the fastest your sytstem can handle. I just installed PC-133 ram in my iMac and it runs fine and is...

Which ever you installed first will give you the "speed" increase. The 2nd one installed is just doing what the first did and you won't notice any increase because you already updated the prebinding.
It doesn't really speed anything up. Im guessing that you upgraded to 10.0.4 and when you do that it does "sudo update_prebinding -verbose -root /" When you installed the Dev tools it does the same thing. Since you had already just done it you will not see a speed increase.
