Overclocking new Celerons

[fritzfield]

I have a 533 Celeron running at 850, simply by running the chip at 100FSB instead of the rated 66 on stock fan. I also had a Celeron 300A that I ran at 450 doing the same thing. Do the new Celerons have such a bump up potential using the stock fan? The regular PII and PIII did not OC so easily, is it the same with the current Celeron and P4 chips. And which mobo, as my BX6 is obsolete.

Thanks in advance.

P4 Celerons are quite overclockable. However, even at very high clock speeds they are considerably slower than their P4 counter parts at slower speeds.

I don't have numbers handy, but search for benchmarks of overclocked Celerons and you'll see it'll probably be more worthwhile to just buy a P4 and overclock that.
