 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? >>

Hi,
  For more info on the Celeron's performance (especially the new one with the
onboard 128K cache), check out www.tomshardware.com   (Hint: the new Celeron
with onboard cache keeps up with a P-II running at the same clock frequencies,
and is as overclocking friendly as the original Celeron. It also costs about
one third of what a P-II 400-450 costs.)

My .02 worth,
Peter Hogan
