Note: You can still run the AGP at 2/3 while running the core @ 83. PCI is 1/2 AGP, so you end up with a slightly underclocked PCI (and AGP) bus, but your Celery runs @ 375.

Here's the full returns on setting 83MHz bus & AGP 2/3:
Core: 375 (+25%)
AGP: 55 (-17%)
PCI: 27 (-17%)

Since the AGP bus isn't saturated anyway the -17% isn't fully realized. I know several people who couldn't get their new Celery's to do 450 reliably, so they resorted to this setup and have found it produces good results for rock bottom prices. Note also you can do this same thing with a 333, resulting in a 415MHz core speed and 456MHz from a Celeron 366. The higher bus speeds really pay off with this chip.

And all this with PC-66 memory as well. :)
