Celeron 600, 633, 800?

[nousername]

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get a heads up regarding some celemine overclocking...I'm looking to do a cheap upgrade on a backup machine, and I was wondering which Celeron would give me the best overclocked results, the 600, 633 or 800? The setup will be a bx6r2 will 256 meg PC-133. I'm leaning towards the 800 just because of the 100mhz fsb speed right now, and this board has certainly been tried and tested at 133fsb, so its just a matter of the cpu I imagine. I'm curious to hear about any of the results you guys have run into, thanks and I'm much obliged to ye all.

My personal experience is on C2 600, it's easy to reach 900Mhz or more upping Fsb, from 66 to 100, and VCore, near 1.8-1.85v, but many guys are upping their C2 800 around 1064Mhz like u can say in more Topic posted in this area, and I'm thinking seriously to do it soon as possible :-)

Depends how strapped for cash you are, the real benefit of the slower chips are their price, but apparently (much to my surprise), the 800 cele is overclocking very well.

Spend some time in the CPU database and see how the other fellas are doing, lately i have heard the 800's are doing well some have hit 1200 but its not guaranteed that every one who buys a 800 will hit that mark.

goodluck

I would get a 800 because if it can't be oc'd it's fbb is still 100 and if oc'd to 133 or 140 the higher fsb will give more performans. But I think it's easier to oc a celeron 600

The Celeron 800 might be getting really interesting since the Celeron 850 is now released, so prices for the 800 must be dropping! The 800 will do at least a 100% solid 112Mhz FSB with default voltages, which gets you a 37.5Mhz PCI/IDE like the old 66's did at 75Mhz.

I don't know why a lot of people have forgotten that the celeron 800 is just a cCO 533a. I'm sure a lot of cBO 533a's would quite easily reach into the mid 950's with reasonable cooling

I don't know why you would overclock a back-up machine.

Good luck on your recovery.....

are they??

[Phil]

Yeah. They both have the 8X multiplyer the only differance is that the 533 is on a 66mhz fsb and the 800 is on a 100mhz fsb which most people used to overclock it too, and higher. Like I said there was never a cCO 533a so the 800 is effectively that only a bit late and sold at about 2x the price. The same is true of the 850 which is exactly the same as the 566 as there was a 566 cCO

[Lancelot]

Yes Phil is right on this. Even with the latest BIOS update (XU) with support for the Celeron 800, when I reset my configuration data (or clear the CMOS) my mobo posts stating there's a Celeron 533a installed! And I have to manually set the FSB to 100 in the SoftMenuIII CPU setup in order to run it at default. Only one thing is not fully true, the 800 in general is ofcourse a better quality die (prolly a discarded EB P3) die cuz most of them are simply OCing to higher FSB's then most of the original 533a's did.

[Phil]

thats for 2 reasons. 1 is it's a cCO core where as teh 533a was only a cBO core and secondly its been made a lot more recentally so production methods have improved.
