Well since you want to stick to intel you can always buy the 1GHz PIII as long as your mobo supports it. Overclocking the Celeron to 1GHz is beyond anyones dreams, not only yours :-) (sorry to say it this way but its the truth) provided that the Celeron has a multiplier lock so the only thing you can do is raise the fsb to 100 so you will get at most 900 MHz but i don't know how stable. In the unfortunate case that your mobo doesn't support the 1Gz PIII then you should change your mobo too. A faster vga card would also help your system's speed and a 128mb dimm as well. I would recommend the ati radeon 64mb vivo. Note that if you change motherboard you may have to change modem too since few new mobos come with ISA anymore. I hope i helped. Good luck.
