I'm purchasing one of those new celerons with the 100fsb. I'm in a dilemma to get an 800, 850, or 900

prices;

800- $54 + $10 ship = $64
850- $64 + $7 ship = $71
900- $79 + $10 ship = $89

clock@ 133 fsb

800- 1000
850- 1100
900- 1200

The 900 looks tempting but it depends on the actual overclockablity. Pricewise the 800 is a very cheap 1ghz upgrade.
I still haven't decided until I look for benchmarks.
 
Welcome to the fourms

the 900 got an average overclock of 1100 while the 800 got an average OC of 1000
 
I really want to get a 133fsb out of the cpu so if a 900 can't get it it's out of the question.
 
if you really want 133fsb then i suggest the 800 because ive heard nothing but good about them and with the others i have heard... well nothing :)
 
FrankMasterFlash,
Thanks much! A new celeron 900 and some funky cooling will keep me occupied. I will post results.
 
800 celerons kick!

I bought an Celeron 800 and it runs stable as @ 1066 @ 1.5v!!!

(whats the go???!)

had it posting at 1225 (153fsb!!!), but didn't have time to play with it (was in a mates MB).

I love it!!
 
I think the best thing to have is a celeron 850

cost is the average

some people in overclocking competition make the worst Overclocking CPU - P4 into the double speed.....1.5Ghz to 3Ghz!

Guess your Celeon can make it to 1200Mhz! (8.5 X 141)

and i think CUSL2-C is the motherboard that you should choose! Asus got the best thing... Otherwise, choose MSI...I think is not bad too

:p
 
In my case I need some serous cooling upgrade (non water due to space limet in my bedroom). Thinking about a 80W Peltier under my SK-6. Should do the trick. Still running 1133 @ 1.8V.
Prime95 Torture test goes great. 45C (yesterday 46C but that was due to the weather going very warm (about 30C)).
