Ok guys, I've been trying to overclock my Celeron 433 since a long time ago but haven't had the guts to do that. but after seeing this I am a little bit understand now. So in order to overclock using a mobo that has cpu setting in Bios would be easier than changing the jumper setting on the mobo right? So I have Celeron 433. and to overclock it is by changing the FSB setting right? Since the multiplier of my Celeron is 6.5 so the default is 6.5 * 66.6 which gives me 433. So if I want to overclock it, can I just change the FSB setting to 100 that will give me 650? I am using PC 100 so that's why I give 100 for the FSB setting. Please explain to me more detail so I can start doing it real soon. Give me suggestion what cooler should I buy to do this and if someone can provide me the link to the online store for me. Also what is the range of the temperature should I keep it at? After checking with sisoft Sandra, mine is at 46 F. Also what is the mobo that will do this? THanks for all the helps. I can't wait to overclock mine real soon. So answer this real quick ok guys and gals :)

In all reality you probably won't hit 650 with that celeron 433. The older (ppga) celerons were not as overclocking friendly. Good Luck.

Good luck trying to run it at 650. They usually top out at about 550.

Try running it at 83 fsb first. then slowly up the fsb to like 90 then 95 if possible.

So, it's impossible to run it at 100? hmm ok then.... I will try this anyway with 83 and then 95 and so on but can someone provide me information what mobo should I use since my Intel LX can't do this. Also the cooler please and the ideal temp. range for the overlocked cpu. thanks

Honestly, I don't think its worth buying a new mobo just to OC the Celeron 433. Those don't go real far, and however far it would go would still not be all that fast. For an extra $50-$100 you could get a lot more performance gains if you upgraded your CPU as well.
