The celerons you are reading about are the newer "coppermine" version in the fc-pga package. The older ones like yours (slot 1 or ppga) use the older core, and 600 is about as far as the better ones will go. The 400 was often regarded as being one of the worst celerons for overclocking. With good cooling and additional voltage it may make it to 83FSB or maybe 100 but that would require some luck.

thanks for your help i now understand, i am looking to upgrade my cpu in a little while and would like to know what type you think is best, I have seen several different models out there eg..E, EB, A, B, cco and i don;t know what the difference is. my goal is to reach 1ghz or more safely. and would like to go with a pIII.What do ya think

hmm dont buy a cBo stepping chip.. a cCo is nice.... 700E and clock it or just get the 1Ghz chip... hahahaa.. maybe the AMD route?

There's really nothing wrong with cb0 stepping chips. The cc0 overclocks a little more consistenly, but the cb0 is the version that really brought overclocking into it's own. In Celerons the cc0 566/600/633 are probably the most sure of the group for reaching a decent FSB. In the PIII the 700e is king, the 800 is pretty good, and the EBs are to be avoided unless you really want to put a lot more work into the overclocking effort.
