Quick info needed... how are current celerons overclocking please?

[Rigoletto]

I see with Intel's new price shifts that a Celeron 666 is for what the 600 was two weeks ago. I held off using my Abit BE6 to overclock a Celeron as I wouldn't bench better with it than with my Athlon600... but now I see I can get 1GHz out of the celeron...hmm...
So if you would like to post how your celerons (since the 533a) are overclocking, I'd be very interested to hear it! THX

go here and click cpu database and see what comes up for your chip. http://www.overclockers.com/

The last 4 or 5 cellies(633s & 600s) I put together all did 100 FSB without a problem. They just needed better cooling and more voltage. As an fyi, Buy.com has Celeron 600's for 87.95 and with a coupon, it is a pretty good deal. What makes it better is that I got one a couple of days ago and it was a Cco stepping, Intel's latest. This new stepping is pretty sweet, and I got it up almost a gig!! This new stepping is also 1.7v, much higher than older celerons...

I had a 566 and it posted at 1ghz at 1.9v, but did 952 at 1.85 so i had a good chip, the 533 and 566 celery 2's are all very very good overclockers, unless you get some dud of a chip... they all do the fsb100 fairly easily, but you're probably going to be hard-pressed to find a 533 or 566 now since intel has stopped production i believe, someone correct me if i'm wrong, so your next best chance would be the 600

Do the PPGA celerons overclock as well as the FCPGA type? I'm specifically wondering aboutt eh FCPGA 600 compared to the PPGA 600.

I'm sure that that Intel has never made any PPGA 600 mhz Celeron CPU's.

My bad, how about the 533s then?

PPGA celerons barely o/c(if at all) since they all are p2 .25 micron cores. You need a coppermine core celeron to o/c.
