I've got a BM6 with a 366@550 in it now, and I'm interested in seeing how much a 600@900 or 633@950 would cost me.

Get a Duron *ducks*

;)

Just foolin' with ya :)

You might want to look around the For Sale/Trade forums, but I don't thnik there are a lot of pre-tested OC Celerons around, their OC performance seems to be hit-and-miss, so the guys who are selling those kinds of things aren't doing them.

There are advantages to an Intel Celeron over a Duron. The Celeron runs cooler, has an internal diode to shut it off in case you install the heatsink wrong, and is less prone to have the core crack when you install a HSF. The Duron is cheaper and faster. Personally I have always wanted to try a Celeron with a passive heatsink.

As for places to find pretested Celerons:

PC NUT Celeron II 600 @ 900 for $125
Sunshine Star Celeron II 566 @ 850 for $95
Advanced Design of Kentucky: CII 566@850 for $130
Advanced Design of Kentucky: CII 600@900 for $135
Advanced Design of Kentucky: CII 633@950 for $140

Prices do not tell everything. Check to see what you are getting with the price (converter card, HSF, etc.)
