Yes, SDRAM will work fine. Your old Pentium 233MMX shipped with EDO RAM because the TX chipset had some problems with SDRAM. Now that you've upgraded to a Celeron processor, SDRAM work work. One note, if you mix EDO and SDRAM, the computer will act like they are both EDO. You probably won't notice a difference though.
