Is this normal

[unknown_sniper]

a friend of mine has just purched a locked pentium 4 1.8 with a 100 fsb. he was wondering if it would do 133 fsb and to our amaizment it did and overclocked to just under 2.4 , is this normal or the next celeron 300a where you went from 300 66fsb to 450 100fsb overclocked. this is stock fan + one case and temp remained at 34 ran burn tests 4000 loop all weekend stable and cool. sandra couldnt even rate it because it had nothing to compare. Is this normal.
