I have an ASUS P2B-F rev. 1.00 motherboard with a 633 MHz cC0 Celeron FCPGA on an ABIT Slotket with 256 MB 133 MHz SDram. The CPU is completely stable at 712 MHz (9.5 x 75) with 1.75 Vcore (28 C idle & 38 C full). But if I want to start it with 100 MHz FSB then the bios freezes, even if I set the Vcore to 1.85 V. I have the "1013.a" version of bios (it's the newest). Sometimes I can reach the half-time of the Win98 bootup, but it freezes then. Should I dare to give more voltages to it ? If anybody has experiences with this config then please let yourself be heard.

What are you using for cooling? What case ventilation do you have? If both are above average then bring the voltage up- but watch the temps closely!
If you don't have a couple case fans and something better than an orb or Intel hsf, that is probably part of the problem with reaching 100FSB. Try blowing a house fan into the open side of the case and see if it goes further into Windows. If it does you have a thermal problem for sure.

Provided you are using a proper cooler (not a Golden Orb or Intel HSF), you should be able to get away with anything upto 1.90v easily and stably.
Why buy a celeron 633 in the first place ??

I think it is not the cooler's problem, it is this one:
Now the temp of the CPU (at 712 MHz & 1.75 V) is 28 C (idle) and today after I've been playing for 2 hours Quake3 with it, the highest was 38 C. This cooler is almost as big as my friend's FOP 32.
To wild_andy_c: I heard, that the 566 and 600 Celerons are better for overclocking, but at that moment, when I bought the 633, there were only higher Celerons in the shop and I didn't want to wait any longer, cause you know how it is to be without your computer.
Thanks for your comments !
