I sure never heard of such a problem with celerys... my understanding was the 
MoBo chipset and bios was where the max mem was reached... what kinda box is 
that? tell me more.. I don't buy such small mem with a celery
the only thing like that I know about is that celerys can't be smp, but I 
never had a problem.. I have a few celerys (a 366, a 500, and a 1200Mhz, none 
overclocked, all have some form of linux (2 mdk9.0, 1 rh 8.0, all just to 
play around) as well as dual booting into M$ as required/requested (1 ME, 2 
win2k) all with 512 meg mem. Winme and 9x won't boot with more than 512 megs 
mem.
