celeron overclock

A motherboard must have the ability to overclock a processor. Sometimes a motherboard vendor will provide a Windows program to adjust the amount of overclocking, but the most common way to overclock is to go into the BIOS to make overclock and RAM timing changes. Trying to overclock a 333MHz processor is really like kicking a dead horse.
 
Just get a different motherboard and you can probably overclock that chip fairly well. But if you plan on using the machine for light gameplay and processing of some sort I suggest you DO upgrade to a Tualatin or something closer to that than a celery. However like said, with the right mobo you can OC that chip like a monster.
 
wow, it turns out the person i talked to at gateway lied to me. the max my mobo will support is a 366mhz mendocino.

two of there tech support people told me it would work. im sure glad i didnt shell out money on a new cpu. i thought i would ask a few more tech reps for assistance, and i did so the new processor was ruled out. no for the final results in the gateway technical support showdown!!!

2 said it would work:mad:
4 said it wouldnt work:mad:

you would think they would have all said one thing, they all were probally sitting in cubicles right next top each other.:mad:

also one of the sales reps told me if i add 256mb's of ram and a 64mb video card, that this would increase my system performance by 187%. this was the first one i talked to who told me that i could put any slot 1 with 66/100fsb on my computer, so im not sure weither to believe him about the 187% thing either.
