Hi,
        I know someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you can do
this.  As I understand it all Slot 1 CPUs are clocked-locked.  i.e., they
run at the FSB times a preset unchangeable multiplier.  Now all Celerons
run at an FSB of 66 MHz, so it is possible to overclock them my modifying
one of the "pins" so the FSB will run at 100 MHZ.  The problem with this
though, is that will cause your CPU to run at an unchangeable 50% faster or
600 MHZ at your case, a speed which your CPU is probably not going to
handle.

HTH,
Donald Gaither
