Tim,
Actually, it appears that it's the clock multiplier, not the FSB speed that would limit the Celeron A...Doesn't seem like going from 66 to 100 adds much speed to the Celeron A/Pentium II except that in the case of the Celeron A 333...it efectually "unlocks" the clock lock of 5, allowing the chip to run at higher clock speeds.
I doubt that the big boxmakers will offer overclockable Celeron As but then there is the "other" boxmakers, including screwdriver shops.
Also, this Celeron A...efectively kills the Pentium II for the regular business market.
IMHO, there is only two chips worth there weight...the AMD K6-2 and the Celeron A.
Jim

>>IMHO, Celeron300+ and Xeon is going to be proved as the most important products for
Intel for the last 1-2 years. It means that Intel has made great progress into the
segmentation model.>>

But where do you think this leaves the PII? From everything I've been
reading about overclocking in the past few days, there seem to be
plenty of people who think you could get along without it.
