Best board to overclock a Celeron II

[wizz0bang]

Hi everyone!

I am interested in overclocking a celeron II (I was dead set on a Duron until recently, so I'm exploring this option). My aim is for a 633 running at 950. I've read that the old ABIT BX slot-1 boards were great... such as the BH6. But they seem hard to find. Which commonly available board would suit my needs? I know some new Asus/Abit socket varities don't support the higher voltages needed to get this beast up there.

I'd love to get something under $100, then I can spend $100 or so on a 633mhz CeleII and have a WizzBang system for around $200 (using the rest of the stuff from my celeron 333 of course, including PC100 ram). I need something that has a good AGP support for a Radeon AIW.

Currently, after reading Anand and Tom's articles (and threads here) I am leaning towards an Abit BX133-raid. The major feature it's lacking is AGP 4x support. But I like it's incriments of 1mhz bus speed... if I can't get 9.5x100 to work, perhapse 9.5x95 or 9.5x85 will work.

Thanks for all your help!

Personally, I think the Asus P3B-F still is one of the best BX boards out there for overclocking (especially celerons). I have tried Asus BX and VIA chipsets and BX has a 10% better chance of achieving higher speeds with the same CPU. But if youre looking for more options with a cheaper board go abit.

My 2 cents.

How's the ABIT BE6II?
