Elmer, RE:"Jim, get real. Where is you data coming from? When Intel sells a product at a guaranteed speed, they are guaranteeing it will meet all the specifications published in the data sheet, and meet the reliability standards they guarantee. What are you claiming by your statements?"... I think you are trying to suck me into saying that Intel yields mostly high speed chips and down bins them and this is somehow indicative of Intels process technology. As far as my numbers, you can find websites where overclocking success polls abound. I suggest you take a look...but as a big time Intel investor I think it's an act of treason for you to by an Intel chip and overclock it. You are cheating Intel out of revenue. <GG> BTW, a Celeron 300a has about a 80-90% chance of hitting 450. Malay chips have a slight edge on the Costa Rica packaged. I think I know why but you would just ask me to "get real". <GGG> The Celeron 333 is a poor overclocker by comparison. --- BTW, the new K6-2-400 will make 500Mhz easily with proper cooling...just as your CeleronA at 450 has a big fat cooling fan on it... ---- The overclocker world is a small one...the big retail boxmakers are where AMD has sought and won a lot major accounts...
