Can I run this safely on this board? What can I reasonably expect to overclock it at with a golden orb?

I'm currently running a Celly 633@855. Is this a worthwhile upgrade for 60 bucks if it will run at say 1200-1300mhz?

Thanks, y'all. Any tips/tricks will be appreciated.

The short answer is yes. However, if I were doing this, I'd get the Celeron 900 for a few bucks cheaper and try to overclock it to 1.2 gig (1.3 gig is probably overly optimistic). The 1 gig Celeron has a multiplier of 10X which will probably not allow you to reach a FSB of 133, and if you fall short of that, your PCI bus will be too far out of spec. One more thing, the Orb cooler will not handle those speeds and that amount of overclocking, you'll need a much better cooler.
