The 566 and 600 are the most overclockable. As the multiplier goes up so do the complications that can appear. These 2 are quite likely to allow 100 FSB at which the PCI/AGP buses are not overclocked and that makes for a happy overclocked system.

The ultimate has to be a cC0 stepped 533a - clockable to 1Ghz area with memory running at over 160Mhz in a Via 694x board when tweaked to re-ratio the ram.

The faster the FCPGA Celerons base speed - the worse it shall be for the purpose of overclocking.

The 600's are good, the 566's are better and the 533a's are the ultimate (especially since it's the last chip to come out on cC0 process before the Celeron 800).

That's another point - the new Celeron 800 would be quite a good chip to overclock since it is a Celeron 533a on a 100Mhz base bus anyhow.

The only problem with the 800 Celeron and the 800 P3 is that if you don't get them fast enough - you risk frying all of your peripheral components at strange PCI hosting speeds.
