I've had really good luck using crucial for ram, especially since they guarantee compatibility about as well as anyone selling ram. Not cheap but better than a new board if more memory is what you need.

I also have to state that I would more expect a 566 Celeron to take PC100 rather than PC133 but that's just an expectation. I've certainly seen PC133 ram not work in some older computers.
