The BH6 can run at various memory (front side) bus speeds. The Celeron is clock-locked to the front-side bus; you are running that at 83.5 mhz. The PCI (and AGP) busses can run at a settable multiple of the FSB. I don't recall the details, so I may have indicated an impossible multiple setting one way or the other; but the possibilities are 1/3 (used for 100 mhz FSB) or 1/2 (used for 66mhz FSB). Either way, it's a sure bet you're over or under clocking the PCI bus at 83.5mhz, whichever of 1/2 or 1/3 multiplier is in effect.

You really don't have worry about the buses themselves; this has been done enough that experience dictates that they should not be a problem. You will, however, need to check into the specs for the components plugged into them; there are some cards out there sensitive to the bus speed (i.e. - they need 33 MMB/s on the PCI and 66 MB/s on the AGP, and nothing else). The only way to find out is to call the manufacturer, check your documentation, or ask someone who has your equipment too to see if they did it. Good luck!
