  I know a lot of people with overclocked Celerons, and this doesn't sound
familiar to me.

  You may be thinking of something like

http://www.cpu-central.com/dualceleron/index.html

Note that many of the "Slotket" riser cards, which allow you to install a
Socket370 Celeron in a Slot1 motherboard, incorporate this modification and
so no surgery is necessary.

  [A good motherboard for overclocking Celerons will allow you to tweak the
voltage a little either side of 2.0v, and will offer a range of bus speeds
besides 66 and 100 MHz.]
