I have been told Overclocking it to 1000Mhz won't do it any harm as long as there's enough cooling in the system. I also am aware of the dangers of over-clocking but I would like to know if this would improve performance even by just a little bit.	Guest (0)

With Celeron's you don't have to worry about cooking the processor as they are designer to lockup as soon as they get too hot. With mine I can clock it to 1014mhz but it quickly reaches 51 degrees and freezes. Note that Celerons do need to run cooler than other chips - for eg I know of AMD's that can run stable at 70+ degrees. let the overclocking commence! dan	Guest (0)
