Maxwell, I just put together another computer system for some one else. This time, I broke down and bought a non-Intel processor just to experience on how a non-Intel processor would perform. Well, at the swap-meet, Celeron-A's were very rare. The cheapest motherboard and CPU (350MHz) combination was $225. I was able to find a K6-2/333 with AT/ATX motherboard (100MHz bus, ALi chipset) selling for $165. After a couple days of struggling with hardware compatibility issues, I was able to overclock the K6-2/333 to 366MHz. To my disappointment, the system cannot run at 100MHz bus. I had to scale down the bus frequency to 83MHz. I do not know whether it is the MB or the CPU that fails to run at 100MHz (the AGP video card did run at 100MHz in another system). Well, should I try to overclock it to 400MHz? Time Traveler
