I would like to oc my celleron 700 to 875Mhz (83Mhz ext. clock).

I need advice on the settings in SoftCPU menu on my BH6.

-Do I put Agpclock to 1/1 or 2/3 (I have 3d ati rage pro II 8mb)
-What do I put under SEL100/66- Low or high?
-Do i leave L2Cache "Default" or select a value between 1 an 15

-And finally the voltage... what would be the optimum (not to high not too low) voltage setting for running at 83 Mhz?
Default CPU setting is 1.7v and the sistem doesn't hang if I leave it so when the ext.clock is set to 83, but I have a feeling that the computer is slower .

If your video card can handle it stay with 1/1 AGP. 2/3 will underclock it and performance will suffer. The voltage is ok if it will run stable at the increased FSB. L2 cache is also ok at default- after you have it stable you may want to go back and optimize it but make sure it runs well first.

Thank you very much for your answer!!!!!

My sistem RUNS at 1.7v at 875Mhz but it seems to me that its SLOWER that at 700Mhz. Otherwise it is stable and it does not crash.
Now I have set the voltage to 1.9v (and 875Mhz) and computer works faster than before I did that but I wonder if I "have room" to decrease it a bit (to 1.85 or even to 1.8v).
Would it still be at optimal speed - at "real" 875Mhz if I decreased the voltage a bit?

Yes- voltage will not affect the speed- increasing the voltage is the typical method for curing instability. If your stability is good you can bring it down until the stability suffers. Then take it up a little so everything is happy again. Some cpus will overclock fine at the default voltage. I've never had one in a dozen or better attempts, but they're out there somewhere.
