The 466 would run at 700MHz with a 100MHz FSB. Although, *possible*
this is not at all likely. The 300 and 366 were good for 450 and
550 respectively when overclocked. That was almost certain (with
the correct batches) and you'd be pretty unlucky not to get that.
However, they are no longer manufactured and the newer Celeron's
are not so overclockable, due to the higher and higher multipliers.
www.overclockers.co.uk do still have some 366 that are guaranteed
to 550. However, they will probably be the last ones ever available.
For �69 the are excellent value. Of course, if you can stump up
the extra �95 for a 500E PIII Coppermine, then you will get a faster
CPU, as that will overclock to around 750MHz or the 550E will get
825MHz with all likelyhood.
