<The common tie between all stock investors is that they are gamblers.> One of my friends knows several employees at AMD. He said that one of their hobbies is being full-time stock traders. As one of them remarked to my friend, it's "legalized gambing." ;-) <This may also explain the drop in price of the Slot 1 Celerons. I've seen the 300A for $65...yes $65.> I just ordered a Celeron 300A today for $76. The weird thing is, yesterday at the same web site, the same Celeron was going for about $81. And to think that over a year ago, I paid $400 (if I remember correctly) for a boxed Pentium II 266, and that was through the employee purchase plan. By the way, I've seen a wacky product on computernerd.com called the "Wopper Celery Sandwich." It's basically two heat sinks sandwiching a Celeron, with two fans per side. It goes for about $66, which is approaching the cost of the Celeron 300A itself. Talk about overkill! If you can't overclock the Celeron with that thing, then your problem obviously isn't heat.
