I just picked one up with a 566 celeron that the person couldn't overclock past 700mz.
I reflashed the bios, put in a 533 I got from compuwiz that runs great at 112mz for 896mz and set it up. Runs fine once I figured out the softmenu settings. Only thing I cant sort out is getting the reset switch on the case to work with the mb.
It has a max multiplier of 8 and calls the cpu an 896E in the boot screen. I'm using an Abit slotkit & gorb.

Running my BX6 rev 1 with a Celeron 2 566 @ 850. Can't remember how much I bumped the voltage (think 1.8? gotta look, been ages since I messed with it). It is stable, has golden orb for cooler, no problems.

Only thing I don't like about this board is the additional IDE chip (highpoint 366) makes setting up other OSes a pain (linux, etc). Also the AGP is 2x and I've got a Geforce2 MX so I'm thinking of upgrading it to get 4x AGP. Not sure how much of a difference it makes...
