i was going to buy a 1GHz Celeron but am now having second thoughts. i have heard that the Celeron line of processors are not very reliable. is this true?

A little over 3 weeks now my 1Ghz Celeron has run without problems on a ASUS CLUS-2 board at 1.2@1.75 volts and Im using Windows ME :( I did get in up to 1.3 with volt twink but she starting getting abit hot I need better HS/Fan set up. Anyways Im happy for only 90$$ to get so much :)

this is a total lie,its just that celerons dont have the fsb in high rates than the P4 or PIII thats all,but with a little overclocking you can do the job damn well :)

They have a high multiplier and a low FSB..

A Lie? Thats pretty normal to get the 900 to 1.2 gig or past...

900 is an excellent chip to overclock it has a cD0 stepping which would be such a great stepping for overclocking..If it did have high FSB's of the P3 .. The price wouldn't be that low.

Bah. I love the Celeron line. It was a great idea, and I never had any problems with the Celeron's. They are extremely reliable and fun to play with. Plus you don't feel so bad if you break one by accident. Oh btw...my celeron just won't die. I have tried several times to...umm...test its limits. It just won't die though. I think I will keep buying Celerons.

well i must admit that i wrote these things a bit fast and well i was not correct.the thing i wanted to say is the same thing u said ;) about the fsb, well thats all :)

The 1000 has a guaranteed cD0 stepping which is very notorious for a good stepping for overclocking.

I had my celeron 1Ghz for a while now. It's stable and I'm currently running it on an orb do to my other heatsink needed some modding. If its stable on an orb, and boots 1.2Ghz on an orb, it'll do alot better with some cooling. You'll pay about $70 shipped i think and it really is a great upgrade. The day I upgraded from my 433@540 to my 1Ghz i noticed a HUGE difference.

... You can buy it at a local store for a cheaper price .. :) Or at least here in Canada for 139 Retail 128K Cache..
