older MBs upgrades

got an abit bm6(400celery) and a asus p3b-f(433celery & slocket). I would like to upgrade these both. I forget if they got pc66 (most likely) or pc100 (maybe the p3b-f). Looks like either a 533 celery or maybe a cB0 C2 would work. I see the cB0 go all the way up to 700, according to the intel celeron spec chart.
Asus site lists the 600/100 PIII as the fastest cpu that will work. I see that slot1 to fc converters are easily available ( I already using the ASUS S370-DL CPU card).
I haven't check Fry's yet (only place I know I can walk in a pick up the stuff), but those cpus look like they might be hard to find.

Not sure I wanna get a new MB, cpu and memory for an upgrade. I guess I could always order a powerleap cpu converter (too bad they are mailorder/online only).
 
I've bot seen a BX mb that won't run a Celeron 2 with a BIOS update. I'd get a 566@850 or 633@950 from the For Sale Forum. The reason the 'spec chart' doen't say any higher than 700 is probably that there were no faster Celeron 2s when the chart was put up. And I'm sure they did not take into account overclocking.
