Hello Jean,
If you're sure that your Pionex machine is running a 633 MHz Intel
processor, then I believe you've got a Celeron CPU with 66 Mhz Front Side
Bus. That being the case, you're motherboard likely supports 168-pin
PC66-SDRAM and perhaps PC100-SDRAM.
I checked the Pionex website for any useful nuggets of information, but
didn't get far without knowing anything more about your computer (e.g.,
Model #). My first impresssion was the information posted at their website
was minimal and out-of-date. Here are the links:
Pionex Technologies Front Page @
http://www.pionex.com/index.html .
Pionex End-Users Main Page @
http://www.pionex.com/index.htm .
I also checked the Crucial Memory Configurator for Pionex systems, but they
only listed memory upgrades for older Pentium II models. Was your system by
any chance a PII model upgraded with a Celeron processor?
In any case, in lieu of any more knowlegable responses to your query, I
suggest you contact Tech Support @ both Pionex and Crucial for a definitive
answer. My personal opinion is that 168-pin PC100-SDRAM will work just
fine.
The Crucial Technology (Divison of Micron) Memory Selector can be found @
http://www.crucial.com/ .
By the way, you're eventually going to have to crack the case to replace or
add memory ;-) . So why not do it now to see what you have???

Subject: [PCBUILD] Memory?
I have a Pionex 633 MHz Pentium 3 computer that is about 1 year old.
Because of a recent upheaval in my household, I cannot find the book for the
computer. How can I find out what kind of memory this computer has without
disassembling it? Some places are selling 128 SDRAM memory sticks for very
decent prices but I have no idea if this thing uses DRAM, SDRAM PC-100 or
SDRAM PC-133. Don't want to buy the wrong kind and find out it won't work.
Any ideas?
