To overclock the slower chips, that Intel may have tested at faster ratings
and rejected, you generally have to increase the voltage. The power lost as
heat is proportional to square of voltage, and the faster clock speed, also
increases
heat, linearly I think.
So 366Mhz@66Mhz FSB, have good chance of running at 550Mhz@100Mhz FSB,
if you take care of the cooling issues.
The lower temperature leads to greater reliability because heat can cause
dispersion
effects leading to burnout. If you are interested, take a look at the
overclocking
resources from www.bp6.com , Tom's Hardware, and Hardware Central are all
good
on this.
Unfortunately the faster Celeron's don't have same overclock potential, as
they are
nearer the limits for the 0.25 micron process.
