Darren, my next build will be a Celeron 466 @ 466 MHz. According to StorageReview.com, the odds of getting any of the new ATA/66 drives to run at 75MHz+ are only ~50/50. IMHO, once you're running at >450MHz, disk speed becomes more important than a few extra clock cycles. BTW, I have a CeleronA/333 with genuine Samsung 8ns RAM and a BH6 mobo. Regardless of the voltage, it wouldn't get through the boot with the bus at 100MHz. In runs fine at 75MHz but at 83MHz it ate the FAT on my 10GB IBM hard drive. Consider yourself lucky. Craig

Darren, I saw your comment on the Celeron 333@525 you built. I am about to upgrade so would be great interest to me if would give me a pointer or two as what components you used in your system. Thanks in advance. Alex

Alternatively go with the 366mHz. The 366A and up are made of different version than most 333mHz and down. The 366mHz and up can all clock up to >450mHz. Mine's clocking at 5.5x x 83 = 458mHz now. Had the 415mHz before and did not like the speed and response. Like the 458mHz much better. patrick
