Overclocking the Celeron

[Mohammad]

I might get the following deal at computergeeks
http://www.compgeeks.com/cgi-bin/details.asp?cat=Drives&sku=205-4667K and am looking for something similar. Now the questions i have is that can
1.) i overclock the processor that is being advertised on the above link

not likely. the 466 was just about the limits of the celeron processors. 550 is the max you'll get on a great day if you bump the voltage and have the fsb necessary on the mobo

i'd stay away from that piece of junk

rigor's right. I have the Celeron 466 and the overclocking capabilities are pretty limited - you'll likely be staying under 600, in any case. Go up a step or two and get the Celeron II at 533 or 566 Mhz. They've got muscle to spare.
