It sounds like the system thknks it has PC66 RAM Installed, an it says it requires PC100.

Have you chnaged the RAM in the system recently?

You may want to try a different SDRAM Module

Hope this helps

You could also manually configure the RAM settings in the BIOS. However, if you truly have PC66 and really need PC100, then you need to buy some newer memory. For that I can recommend www.crucial.com - they have good prices and quality stuff.
