Default Mac Memory in a PC?

I happen to have 768MB of RAM from a beige G3 (3 x 256) - 233 mhz.

It LOOKS like any other PC100 168-pin DIMM, can it be interchanged with
a PC?

Thanks for any insight. I've just never tried this before and I don't
want to fry something.

It should work OK. The G3 can even use PC 133 (though it would still run at
100 mhz) and work.

Thanks! I couldn't logic out any reason it wouldn't work, unless the
memory sticks were fundamentally different on a level I couldn't check.
