So do I. But the Celeron 300A is really really good at running higher. I
could have run mine at 504MHz, but then I would have been oc everything on
teh PCI bus as well, so I ran at 450MHz with a 100MHz frontside bus and I
never had a problem. I guess the Celeron's had a really high yield at the
time.
