The Abit BH-6 and Asus P2B work well - the second uses a
jumper instead of a BIOS setting, but it makes things easier
with PCI IRQ assignments than the BH-6. So far, three
Celeron 300A's have been reliable at 2 volts and 450MHz,
and we have two more to try...;-) Due to internal settings,
the other faster Celerons do not OC as well, darn...! ;-)
Thanks, Intel, for these bargain FAST CPU's...!!! ;-)
The 300A at 450 checks out fully the equal of the 10X
more expensive P-II 450, making it a steal! If none is
provided, use thermal compound or pad between the chip
and the heat sink, and better yet, use an additional case
exhaust fan and/or an additional internal fan aimed at the
CPU sink. Use PC-100 RAM, and enjoy one of the biggest
bargains in computers...
