I'm aware of the warnings against overclocking, and this isn't intended as a troll, however: 1. tomsharware & anandtech indicate that overclocking the Celeron 300A to 450 is pretty reliably doable. 2. At that speed, the Celeron performance stacks up pretty well against a full-fledged PII (At least in WinStone and Quake). 3. The Celeron costs about $70 PII450 $470 Even with a shortened lifespan and potential reliability problems, it seems to me, based on this, that buying a Celeron and overclocking it may be a perfectly rational thing to do. I was just wondering if anyone here is doing that. If so how's it working? Got a "worldstone"? Or am I missing something that makes this a really stupid idea. (By the way, I'm not talking about a production machine, just my home PC.) Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
