While it is possible that the memory is PC66, the most likely thing is
that the CPU just won't work at 100 MHz FSB.  In overclocking there are
no guarantees.  While virtually all Celeron 300A's will work at 100 MHz,
there are some that won't.  I got lucky, mine works flawlessly at
default core voltage.  All other Celeron processors have a higher
element of "risk."  I have a 366 that will only function at 550 with
core voltage raised to the max, until CPU usage gets heavy, then it
collapses.  I know others that have no problem at all running at default
core voltage and FSB's exceeding 120MHz.  For a slight premium, you can
purchase CPU's that have been tested at higher speed, but that really
takes the "fun" out of overclocking.  Give it a shot at 75 and then
83MHz and see what happens.  It may be that you're going to have to
settle for that.  BTW, did you make sure that your PCI was set to 2/3 on
SoftMenu?
