Celeron 2.0GHz->3.0GHz!!

[JoeMusician]

I have clocked my 2.0 GHz Celeron to 3.0 GHz, with stable operation for several days now. CPU temp is about 40-44 C when loaded, lower otherwise. I am running it in an Asus P4PE, a fabulous mobo for us clockers. I have done little for extra cooling. I added an 80mm case fan, installed backwards (to blow INWARD) at the rear of the case, blowing right across the CPU. I also added a PCI exhaust blower, which is a nice thing: very quiet and amazing airflow. A blower (squirrel cage fan) is very efficient compared to a "propeller" style fan. I've positioned it to draw air across the video card on its way out.

So? A stock Athlon XP 1700+ which costs less than a 2Ghz Celeron beats it even when overclocked to 3ghz, and if you overclock the athlon (which can do 2.1-2.4Ghz), it utterly destroys the Celeron. Complete waste of money on a good motherboard. Get yourself a real Cpu, a pentium 4

Instead of Rdram, why not just merge 4 Sdram channels...
