Memory speed limitation with Celeron ?

Just bought a new system from my assembler. Mobo is QDI's SynactiX1 with Intel 815 chipset, spec says bus speed "100/133 FSB, overclock up to 150MHz", and says it supports 100/133MHz synchronous DRAM. CPU is a Celeron 600 (66MHzsystem bus).

The assembler installed PC-100 memory instead of the PC-133 I ordered, as the mobo mfr QDI advises them against installing 133 memory with the Celeron on the Synactix1 mobo. (I wasnted PC-133 memory to be ready for a possible upgrade to a P-III)

Does this make any sense? What could be the negative of swapping the PC-100 memory for PC-133 with the Celeron CPU?:confused:
