how good are PIII 500E's for overclocking?

[toph99]

i have a dell PIII Coppermine 500mhz, and i was thinking that i'd use the celeron i was going to buy and overclock (566mhz if i can get it, if not then 633) and puting the PIII into the system i'm building, then put the celeron into the dell. would/will this work? any advantage?

I had one of the first retail 500e, and it did 750Mhz (150 x 5). It was a bitch to get it run at the speed as it needed good P133 memory and videocard which runs at overclocked AGP bus.

PIII 750 should be as fast as CII 900 or even faster.
