Need Help on Celeron Selection

[Cheeks]

I need to upgrade on the cheap.  I know Celeron 366A is good overclocker.  Anyone have experience with overclocking Cel 466, 500, 533?

Thanks,
Cheeks

From what I understand the higher the speed the LESS O.C. friendly they are. If you have a BX chipset motherboard then perhaps the 500E flip chip coppermine would be a better bet. It's about $275 + a converter board but will clock up to 665 fairly easy. Go here to see... http://www.overclock.com/articles/bh6_133/bh6_133.html

 Your best bet is the Celeron 366@550 mhz, I am running a C466@525 and have pushed it to 581 mhz but still have lower benchmark scores than the 366@550. The reason is the 100 mhz FSB (366) allows more data through-put than the 75 or 83 mhz FSB. The other drawback of 75 or 83 mhz bus is you will be overclocking the PCI bus which can play hell with hard disks/PCI cards etc. Go to -> http://www.step-thermodynamics.com/  and buy a guaranteed 366.
