  • Celeron 300....overclocking???? :)

    Well I can get my hands on the old limp pre-cashe days celeron 300 to try out. I was thinking about putting in my current system to see what I can get it to do. I Currently run a 300A (overclocking king of 1998 early 1999)@464 (locks up at 504 in boot up to win98..tried playing with the voltage with no luck). Whats the chances of getting it to run 504 mhz? Anyone got some PC-133 to see if it can run at 600mhz??

    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

    Stick with the 300A, your apps will love you in the morning.

      The magic word is cooling. I run a 300A@464Mhz with standard (intel) fan and heatsink, also 504 boot-up but crash when starting Win98. After I tried a monstrous fan/heatsink from a friend, the old celery would run 504Mhz without problems (with normal PC100 SDRAM).
      I'm sorry to say that I did not really notice the performance gain so I choose NOT to pay the extra $20-30 for additional cooling and wait for standard Celeron 533's to get cheaper (believe me they will cost you $60 before the end of the year).
