Intel 2.53 Northwood or 2.4B Northwood? Is the only difference the mhz or does the "b" mean anything? What about OC?

The "B" means 533MHz front-side bus supported by the CPU. Here's a good article which compares the two CPU's:

Ok... Then how comes the 2.53ghz doesnt have a "b" in its name?

And does anyone know how well these can overclock with a sis655 mb

The 2.4 came in both, so it was necessary to make a distinction. The 2.53 only came in 133 FSB (and as Phial pointed out, 2.53 is impossible on a 100 FSB.) So, obviously, the 2.53 is faster...
