How far will a Celeron 400 overclock?

I've got an old Celeron 400 sitting around that I might be able to use and I was wondering how far it would be able to overclock. I'd just be using the stock HSF. If you need the chip markings I can get them for you.

Thanks

I had one that would do 6x83MHz=500MHz no problem at 1.95volts with the stock heatsink/fan and Radio Shack thermal grease. Built a computer for my girlfriend and did the same thing. Remember, 2.0volts is stock voltage, so they are ok. Both were PPGA socket 370.

Ok, thanks. Mine is PPGA 370, so at least I have a chance. I was hoping to get it around 550 to 600, but maybe that won't happen without better cooling.

I've got two Celeron 400's on an ABIT BP6, not the greatest overclocking board, running at 558MHz reliably. Alpha heatsinks, lots of case fans.
