cc0 600 seems to be the hot ticket these days. The gorb is marginal for maximum overclocking though.

I don't have an abit mb, I do, however, have a Celeron 600 cC0 running 945 MHz with a Gorb.

Gorbs are funny, either you hate 'em or you love 'em. I've had no problems thus far, but it might be worth the extra few dollars and spring for an Alpha. EVERYBODY seems to like those...... (mine came w/ a Gorb.)

IF you have any chance to choose, get a cC0 chip. The 566 has an 8.5 multiplier, and the 600 has a 9.
The 633 I believe is 9.5x. These seem to be the "sweet" chips, with the highest yield. Most of these have a decent shot at 100FSB (850/900/950MHz, respectively) and some DO go higher. Each chip is different, so there are no "guarrantees", unless you buy a pre-tested chip. You'll pay more for one, and won't have the fun of finding out how fast she goes for yourself.

Let me know how it works out.......I'm looking at getting one of these mb's or a Soyo 6BA+IV (undecided).

Good luck!

The voltage is the big difference. the cCO's voltage is higher that the cBO. cBO's 1.5default

566 cC0 or 600 like Tim says.

Don't buy a Gorb. I did a bit of a thing at 2.00v this morning whilst chatting with Jeff Evans and Proze whereby I got my cB0 celeron 600 to 1035 with a Gorb. It was a shaky time.

If you want the best speed from your celeron - your gonna have to be looking at a FOP38 at least. An alpha would be a good idea.
