To upgrade or not to upgrade?

[aktush]

Guys currently i have Asus P3V mobo + Celeron 600 @ 675,
PC133 Micron 512, GeForce 2 MX, basically i was waiting for the better and more fancier motherboard, with better features and better overclockability.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a long search and price analysis, i have come up with such
configuration:

Athlon TB 1000 @ 1.3 ~ 1.4 may be with unlocked multiplier.
And Abit KT7A board.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before everyone was saying oh oh get a Celeron on a new core
like 566 or 633 they will overclock to ennormous speeds, but this is such a bull**** I took samples 10 Celerons only 1 overclocked to anything stable higher then 750 Mhz. So I was really mad.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=-Question 1:=-

Now what is my chance of overclocking 1 Ghz @ 1.3 ~ 1.4 Ghz?
{with this mobo}

-=Question 2:=-

Can you suggest a better upgrading solution (without switching to DDR) mobo + CPU?

-=Question 3:=-

What TB 1000 will you suggest 200 Mhz FSB or 266? For better overclockability

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S

/<Later I will probably use watercooling>/

First of all, welcome to the forums.

Now, as for your system, I really suggest waiting for the Palominos, and though they might be expensive, they are going to be worth every penny.
For a mobo, look at the reviews and see what fits ya but 1 thing you should already adapt is a DDR mobo. As far as the water cooling goes, make sure you have a full tower case for that or mid-full. We could really pick your board, but it's really based on what you like, there are tons of excellent boards out there. The KT7A is a good choice but if you really don't want to go DDR you should get an EPoX. Is money your problem as far as DDR upgrades? And if you can get 266mHz for the price of 200 take it, (or close) otherwise stick with 200. If you are going to o/c it they will get pretty close to the same target.
