How Does This Upgrade Sound???

[Playmaker]

My current system is as follows:

-Abit BX6rev2 mobo
-Celeron 433 FC-PGA
-Slotket convertor
-Voodoo3 2000
-128MB PC100 2-2-2 Generic SDRAM
-only fan is rear 80mm exhaust

I would like to first pick up 2 high output 80mm fans to have 1 80mm in and 1 80mm out. I then want to add 128MB PC100 2-2-2 SDRAM. Next would be a cheap GeForce2 MX. Finally, I think I'd like a Celeron 566 that I can run on 100mhz FSB to make it 850mhz.

Now for the questions...Does this sound like a good value upgrade to get better fps in games? Is there a better route you think I could take? Will the 1 80mm intake and 1 80mm exhaust be enough cooling? or do I need a new case? Is it worth it to OC the GeForce2 MX? and if so do I need to add fans or heatsinks to it? And what GeForce2 MX would be the best for me? Do mostly all C566s run at 850? or is there a better cpu speed to get? Would the C566 run pretty cool if I leave the comp on 24 hours a day with the stock fan and heatsink? or should I add something? if so what? Thanks in advance.

That seems great for the value upgrade.
No, I wouldn't tell you to drop those and get the Duron.

I don't think PC133 is more expensive than PC100...might as well.
I like Inno3D MX, cheap, but very stable that comes w/ HSF. (OC it to 190/200 w/ its retail HSF)~ $85?

C2 run fairly cool, if you have Gorb, then you are very much safe to run it 247.(I used to have C2-533@800mhz running 247 w/ ORB for 6 months, before I go w/ AMD)
Not all C2-566 can run at 850mhz, you may get a used one from a reputable member in sale forum for around $80 includs HSF. (make sure get the one that run 100FSB less than 1.8V)

Personally, I would spend a little more money and buy the GTS over the MX. With the NV20 coming out in the next few months the prices on the older Geforce 2 cards should come down. Either way, I would get the next level up video card.

If you plan on using that motherboard you don't really have that many choices.

If you want a great inexpensive gaming rig, then what you had listed before would be great just change it to a MSI K7T Pro2-a motherboard and a Duron 800. MWave.com carries this combo for $213. The Duron 700 is faster and much better for games than the Cel at 850. So the 800 would be overkill

You also get PC133 support, AGP 4x and ATA100 support as well. This will prove to be a much better value in the future as well when you upgrade to newer video, memory or ATA 100 drives.

Look at this here on the Anandtech site:

Going with the Duron over the celeron would be around $150 more. With that extra money I could get a much better vid card and overall get much better performance with the celeron. I think I'll go with the celeron and a good cooler. What is the best Celeron speed to try and run on 100mhz fsb?
