The Abit BX-6, revision 2 is a nice MB for OC'ing the
Celeron 300A (BIOS settings for OC'ing, instead of jumpers,
and control over IRQ assignments, too...). And, alas, the
last two Celeron 300A's tried did not OC well - one was OK
at 450MHz at 2.2 volts (not TOO warm, but it could use extra
fanning), the other took 2.3 volts to run right, and got
too hot... (the first three ran happily at 2.0 volts).
