Probably not too much. The old school celerons topped out at about 500mhz. With a voltage bump, it'll probably do 7.5x75=563 but I wouldn't count on much more.

I've been able to take mine to 7.5x81mhz without problem. It's very stable, hasn't crashed or locked up, at that speed. Any higher and it craps out.

Of course the problem of the 81Mhz FSB would be the 40.5Mhz PCI bus which is pushing it a bit...f

The Celery 500 won't get you THAT far to be honest. Certainly not as far as a decent 566 C2, which can reach over 850Mhz.
