I have two P3 700e chips that overclock very well and I'm happy with them.
On my third system I have a celeron 300a running 464mhz.
It's a bx6 r2 and I have a slocket so I can put another P3 in there, or I could get a celeron2 for much cheaper.
I'd like to know if the current crop of oem celerons out there for $50 - $60 are worth the risk of buying and trying, and what anyone would recommend for a good stock chip to try, and if anyone has a vendor thay like that sells good chips.
I know there are some out there that pretest their chips and sell their overclockers for more money, and there are other stores that don't pretest. I also know buying a retail unit has the advantage of being sure that it hasn't been tested and rejected.
BTW, all you AMD doods - I respect you and if this mobo would take it I'd be getting a duron and overclocking the crud out of it. As it is I need to go intel cuz that's the mobo I have.
