Max size DIMM on a 440BX is 256MB. Max config is 4x256MB @ 100MHz
or 3x256MB @ 133MHz (and depends on whether the board has four
slots or not, in the first case). I bought my 256MB sticks from
Crucial. There is more info here, concerning what happens when
high density RAM is used - not all 256MB DIMMs are the same...

I think I bought the CT32M64S4D7E CAS2 SDRAM here:
