Run "SiSoft Sandra", and get all the technical info.. it will even tell you what CPU you could update to.

I believe taht a ZX chipset is the trimmed-down version of the ultra-cool BX chipset!
If so, you should be able to use any of the Celeron chips, and probably all the Pentium 3 'E' chips as well! I sure hope I am right, that would be a very easy upgrade path for you. I could very well be mistaken, been a lot of chipsets over the years Maybe check out the Intel homepage or email them to be sure!
Good Luck!

be aware of, that the ZX chipset might not support 100MHz FSB - which does limit your choice of cpu's. (P3E is at 100MHz and P3EB at 133MHz FSB) But check the mobos specs. at producers homepage...
BTW your celeron 433 would likely work fine at 487,5MHz (6,5*75MHz) and maybe even at 6,5*83 - resulting in 539MHz - keep in mind that the voltage easily may be increased to 2,2volt.

You're not giving much information. What brand of motherboard do you have? I can't tell if you're saying you have an Intel mobo with a zx chipset or a non Intel board with a zx chipset. It makes a difference because you can't overclock a motherboard that is manufactured by Intel.ktown said:

Why don´t you upgrade a little and then overclock!
That´s what most of the Guys around here do

If i were you, i'd upgrade that to an 800+ Celeron.
Just in case you cant overclock, the 100mhz FSB is a lot nice than the old 66.
