If memory test fails, one of your RAM must be faulty.
There is no difference between dimms for PII and Celeron (normaly), however,
since Celeron CPUs only run at 66Mhz Front Bus Speed (FBS), Celeron CPUs don't
ask the memory chip to be "fast", as long as the RAM can operate at 66Mhz, it
is ok for Celeron. PII CPUs most likely to run at 100Mhz FBS, so that the RAM
MUST meet at least 8ns requirement (official PC-100).
