i recently bought a celeron 566 fcpga and im using it with an abit be6. i have the newest bios installed and it runs perfectly at 566. however i want to overclock it to 100fsb (850mhz). the bios shows that the default voltage (under softmenu2) to be 1.7v. now i know this is wrong because the 566's are supposed to be at 1.5v. Could this be the cause of my slocket? Its a no-name brand slocket. After seeing this problem i purchased an abit slocket to go along with my be6, but it hasnt gotten here. So any help? Is it my slocket? I have pc100 generic ram...wat are my odds of gettin up to 850 or above? thanx everyone.

I had to go through three noname slotkets before one finally posted mine at 850mHz. This was at 1.8 volts.

The latest 566 (cC0 stepping) Celerons are 1.7 volt default voltage. Unless you have selected 1.7 volts on your slotket, you have a cC0 Celeron. Get the MS-6905 slotket, rev 2.x (Onvia has them). The Abit slotket is not highly rated.
