What´s the Max Cpu voltage on my Abit BH6 motherboard?, i can only get it up to 1.90V i think i need more to get my Celeron II 700 to run @ 1050Mhz. Windows locks up during loading, if i use lower voltage the computer hangs during bios startup.

Runs fine at 871Mhz 1.70V

Cooler Pentium Alpha ABSK0156-B
256Mb pc100 ram
TNT2 Ultra

The available voltage settings in the Soft Menu is limited to the default voltage signal from the CPU. I've heard of people doing the "BIOS flash" trick to increase the voltage options. I had a BH6, but never tried this trick (sold it before I learned of it). Set the FSB to default speed and then crank up the voltage to maximum. Flash the BIOS with the newest upgrade and if you're lucky, you'll have more settings available. Otherwise, you need to do the "wire trick" on the CPU VID pins. Also, improvements to cooling (i.e. case fans, etc.) might help stability too. Make sure your cooling is up to the task before raising voltage.
