What can I get for my Abit BH6?

[Gundam]

My system consists of:
Celeron 300A @ 450
Abit BH6
256 pc-100 cas2 ram

What should I get to get the most speed out of my system without replacing the mboard and ram? Which CPU will give me the most gain? Oh yeah, and I don't mind OCing

I'm also using the BH6. I got a C2-533 @ 896 @ 1.65v stable.
Cheap and pretty quick

...I don't mind OCing...

Will the BH6 auto set voltage for the C-II's and Coppermines or do you need a slocket with voltage adjustment on it?

Gundam-
C2 566@850 solid; replaced my 300a@450

Netopia-
With the lataest bios it will auto detect voltage.

Biggest BX Bang for buck upgrade is Celery II (@ whatever)

You can get them pre-tested up to 1000mhz (Guaranteed).

I believe compuwiz1 on forsale/trade sells them here , or try fleabay.

Save yourself the time and get a pre-tested package (slotket/Gorb hs/f) and cpu. Its worth the $$

or consider the extra $100 and get a nicer P3 package. The performance of the cel 2 would be better enhanced with a geforce 2

Using C566 @850 1.55V. You should get the latest BIOS. One just released is BH6_SS which supports pretty much all the Celeron II's and PIII's at this point. It does autodetect and set appropriate voltages. Lark

P.S. I could only get this BIOS at the www.abit.com.tw site. The other regions (US, Europe, etc.) didn't have the new BIOS mirrored yet. Release date was 7/6/00.

me thunk not all bh6 boards are created equal....aren't bh6ers w/ less than or equal to rev 1 not capable of voltage adj for copper celery? i thought it would require an adapter?
plz clear this fuzzy mind!

mlvance,

All BH6's have voltage adjustment in the bios and you do need an adapter but that is because the BH6 is slot1 and the copper celery's are socket 370.
