     Since it is a 400MHz Celeron chances are the board uses 168 pin SDRAM
DIMMs. When did you purchase the system? In the past a system like this,
considering it uses a 66MHz FSB used PC66 SDRAM, however about a year ago
the price of PC66 approached PC100 and many manufacturers switched to PC100
for all systems. I recommend you get more of what you have, if you have PC66
then get more PC66 (although it will be more expensive), if you have PC100,
get more PC100. Hope this helped, TTYL
