Or has an overclocked Celeron 300A which uses the single edge connector
(all 300As do, there is no PPGA version of the Celeron 300A).
300A's are likely the most overclocked CPUs on the face of this planet
due to the ease with which they are overclocked and the high success
rate of overclocking them to 450 MHz - just bump the bus speed from
66 MHz to 100 MHz, use PC-100 SDRAM, and the success rate is reported
to be over 70%, giving one PII-450 performance at a reasonable cost.
Even so, if one is selling a system with an overclocked CPU, one should
clearly state that.
