An respected manufacturer/supplier is Crucial Technologies, division of Micron. (They ship worldwide.)

Details here: http://www.crucial.com/

PS - There are apparently 2 versions of DDR-266 (184 pin DIMM and 200 pin SODIMM). It might help you find surplus or used sticks, if you could identify which version is needed.

cheers

Apart from the difference on pins (which I didn't even knew apart from the memory used in laptops) you can put in whatever ddr you fancy!

The rating (266/333/400) is only the maximum speed the memory is able to run.

Put a 266 stick in a 400 capable mainboard and the board will limit its speed to 266 so as not to burn/overheat the memory.

Put a 400 stick in a 266 mainboard and you'll have no problem!

Only problem might be the bios on the board not recognizing the bigger sizes...

You can even mix a 266 and a 333, the mainboard will take the lowest speed.

Basically only sdram and ddr ram are completely incompatible, reason why they have different cut-outs, so you cannot accidently put it in a wrong MB
