Dan, try 8 times 66 Mhz bus =~533 the max speed of a celeron at the max now available multiplier.
Of course if they make a 100 mhz bus celeron it would be 800 at least until a chip set with a higher multiple comes along. Which makes me sure 100 Mhz celrons will be here soon.

Daniel, re:<Petz: What difference does the multiplier make? Every Intel processor since the PII has been clock locked, not?>

I may be wrong, but I believe if you put one of these processors in a motherboard which doesn't support multipliers > 8x, it will default to some lower multiplier setting and run the CPU REALLY SLOW.
