How good are Celeron PIV CPU's regarding overclocking.

Thank's,

AXP 1700+ eats P4 Celeron (overclocked to 3 GHz)

In gaming yes, but you will find that the P4 celeron can run normal everyday Office tasks very quickly and internet surfing just as fast as an A64.

But the Duron cost less than the Celeron and gives you the nForce chipset option, for halfway decent onboard graphics, saving even more money.

they could be great overclockers, but even overclocked beyond common sense, they are still incredible poor performers. 128 Kb cache kills its performance no matter how high clockfrequencies or FSB speeds you reach. Have a look <A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1927" target="_new"> here </A> Even if you could overclock it to 4 GHz, you would have a hard time finding a few benchmarks where it beats a stock 1.6 Duron, XP1700+ or an old 1.8 GHz P4A. Overclocking todays celerons is like trying to turbocharge a bicycle.
