I have a friend who says that he has a Celeron on a 112 MHz bus with 8 ns
memory and clocked at 400 MHz.  Says he can hold his finger on the
processor chip it is so cool. He claims to have upgraded for about $ 300
total. I personally have not seen it yet.

Any other experimenters out there having similar success with souped up
Celerons?
