Thanks for the info Michael Its actually been about 2 years since I last researched Celeron and I remember running across a chip speed comparison study that rated actual processing power by chip manufacturer and chip speed. I cant remember the specifics but at the time the study was done (late 1998) Celeron chips were running much slower than say a Pentium or other chip manufactured by another company. Seems the chart showed a C-266 ran at the same processing power as a P-133 if my memory serves me. Perhaps they have fixed this to a degree. You may find the following interesting to read dealing with over clocking celeron chips. arstechnica.com
