Is the Celeron a coppermine (0.18 micron?). I can't recall what MHz they
changed them at and if there was an overlap of models. If it is a

coppermine

you should be able to overclock it quite a bit fairly safely. (I have a
600Mhz model doing 810 (90FSB) easilly, with standard cooler off a 400,

if I

had a better cooler I'd up it to 100FSB)). If it's a coppermine I

wouldn't

be surprised if you could run it at 750MHz (100FSB) with only maybe a

little

voltage increase. (Lower spec'ed Cu-mines were 1.5v and higher ones 1.75v

so

going up to 1.6-1.65 should be fine)

If it's not a coppermine but a mendicino then you're out of luck for
overclocking, the most I've ever got out of one of those was 545MHz.

I don't know what model it is. Is there a way to determine this using
software, or should I look at the CPU itself? Since it's a 'spare' CPU,
for which I have no use at all, I wouldn't really mind if it didn't
survive any overclocking experiments. ;)

Download and install 'Aida32', it'll ID your CPU for you, even give you the
stepping etc. plus lots of other useful info.

Not sure of the URL to download but Google will find it for you quick-smart.
