Which is a better buy a celeron 533a or 566a for the same price?

Which would you purchase?

which one.....hmm......how about the one that can overclock at 100fsb...^^

 

[rigor]

well almost all of the 533a's ive tried do 800 fine at 1.65

a couple of the 566a's required 1.85volts and i hear 25% or more of the 566's dont even do 850.

If its not guaranteed to do 100fsb, you have a much better chance of getting 100fsb out of a 533 and then overclocking it more to its limits.

also use a MSI slotket only. the others will make it harder.

There's no such thing as a 566a. All Celeron 566's are .18u CPUs with the P3 instruction set. The 533a is the .18u version, while the 533 is a classic Celeron. Avoid the 533 at all costs.
