Overclocking the FC-PGA Celeron

Here we see the mediocre performance of the Celeron 566/600 under Content Creation Winstone 2000 jump up to highly competitive levels simply by increasing the FSB to 100MHz resulting in the processor running at 850MHz. At 850MHz the Celeron is about as fast as a Pentium III 800E.

Increasing the once again, to FSB to 112MHz we get a Celeron running at 952MHz (up from 566MHz) and on a BX motherboard this is a very powerful setup, coming within two points of a 1GHz Athlon.
