Robert -- Your chances of successfully overclocking a C300a are basically
somewhat of a "crap-shoot", depending a lot on when and where it was
manufactured.  However, there are companies that will test the CPU for
over-clockability before you by it, and guarantee it.  Check out
www.minotaur.com  -- they will sell you a C300a guaranteed to be stable at
450Mhz for $109, and for $144 a C300a guaranteed to be stable at 450Mhz at
2.0 volts. They also rate very highly in the on-line vendor surveys at
sysopt:   (www.sysopt.com/vendsurv.html)  But if you want one you'd better
move fast -- I understand they are getting harder to find everyday!
Enjoy...
