do celleron 2 - 633 which i have seen get to 1000 on air ( i plan to use h2o )

i go for the duron, because it´s more flexible then the celeron
also the celeron is loked so you only can overcloak seting up the FSB, and the duron you can change the multipleyer snd the FSB

good luck

Duron's RULE compared to the obsolete Celerons

chimpboy · 06-20-2001, 12:59 PM

im talking celeron 2's, ok here are the options:

celeron 2 - 633, guarenteed to overclock to 950 by overclockers.co.uk - 50 odd quid

or Duron 800, guarenteed to 1000 by overclockers.co.uk - 60 odd quid

i am running on very tight budger and the celeron seams to be more of a challange to overclock, as many of my mates have durons and they know nothing about computers and are able to overclock them with ease.
just looking for a challange????
chers guys

Clock for Clock the AMD chips are the better buy. It's good to have a challenge, it's better to have the speed

Here's a quick link to Tom's Hardware for a comparison.

to be honest there is not a lot in it, is there?
i know more MhZ's are what everyone wants but for someone like me ( i am quite technically minded ) it seams pointless to just bung it all in and press "+mhx" in the bios!!!
i will just have to see what kind of a deal i can get out of my mate for his VC820 board and RIMM.
oh yeah just a quick Q, will the fact that it has RIMM PC800 ram affect the overclocking / performance of the machine as a whole.

chers for the help on this guys
