Q: So, how overclockable are they, are they sweet?
They are very sweet, rock solid at 100MHz front side bus, with normal air cooling; and since these seems to be OEM chips, I expect the retail chip to be better. However, to run the C533 stable at 800MHz and C566 at 850MHz, we had to boost the CPU core voltage up to 1.75-1.80v, depends on the motherboard we used. But hey, even at higher voltage, they ran nice & cool. :-)
