Quick reply on Celeron overclocking vs. alternatives:

This was discussed briefly earlier by Zeuspaul, myself and others--a search should pull up the URL, or it may be in ZP's excellent Dream Machine Auxiliary.

IMHO, a PII 233 may serve you better. They can be had for $180 or less, and generally can easily overclock to 300 mhz or more. Plus, there's no futzing to get the chip in slot one, and in real world apps rather than synthetic benchmarks, you're likely to notice the cache in the PII quite a bit.

Good luck,

Dave
