Question from a complete novice; I'd never heard of over clocking until I started lurking here a couple months ago. But now I'm wondering, if I were to buy an assembled computer (I know, a bad word around here), from a uBid or OnSale, such as the Hewlett Packard Pavilions sold at uBid, which uses the 300MHz Celeron, would I be able to (try to) overclock it to 450MHz? Or is this a complete function of combining the Celeron with the correct mother board and Ram??? Obviously, the auction sites don't get too specific about the hardware. Is there anyway to read the auction page and tell if it could be overclockable? Looks like you could buy one of these for the mid $400 range, with a better/bigger/faster hard drive, CD, modem, etc, than I currently have. I'm thinking I could buy a new computer for not much more than I would spend to upgrade just these three items. But I'm wondering if I should look for one with the 300 Celeron for over clocking. Thanks for any advice. Steve
