There are two reasons why Intel will label a 400MHz Celeron "400MHz": A) Lots of people want a 400MHz Celeron B) The chip doesn't run faster than 400MHz Usually the reason is (A), in which case, the chip can run faster than 400MHz. Many Celerons are rock-solid when run in a BX motherboard at 100MHz FSB. Sometimes the reason is (B), in which case, the chip will not work if you overclock it. So, if you want a Celeron that you can overclock, you do still need a little bit of luck. Unless you are in a position to pick the serial numbers you want... -Tom
