I'm trying to add more memory to my Dad's machine which has a Celeron 800 processor. The motherboard is a PC133 Socket370 M758+ series. According to the manual it supports FCPGA Celeron 300-966Mhz, FSB 66Mhz. The other options are FCPGA Pentium III and Tualatin/Tualatin Celeron. I assume we are dealing with FCPGA Celeron here ? The manual then goes on to say that if the system bus is 66Mhz then you must use PC66 memory. Is that really true ? I can't seem to find any 66Mhz memory of more than 128Mb.

that sounds like a pcchips board. should be able to use pc100 & maybe pc133 ram. that last 1 is an iffy at that as some boards are tempermental on some ram.

I think it is a pcchips one. The thing that confuses me is that all the info about the Celeron chip that I can find on the internet says that the 800 was the first version to use a 100Mhz FSB...so why does the manual imply that only 66 can be used ? Could it be that the board itself is restricted to 66Mhz FSB for all Celeron chips ?

Possibly, or it could only support PC66 RAM. If you can manage it, grab some RAM from somewhere it's easy to return it and try PC100 in it, if that works, great, if not then take it back and swap it for PC66.

if the fsb is capable of 100mhz than so is the ram. manual is probably old version & not upto date on your board.
