One thing you forget is that you cannot guarantee that 100% of all 300A
Celerons
will make 500Mhz, but Intel can guarantee 300Mhz.
Another is that Intel will probably stop this overclocking:
Not only because of marketing reasons, merley due to unserious companies
offering unstable 500Mhz Celerons.
So, to my mind the overclocking stuff is somehow obsolete as
overclocking will
probably be impossible in less than 6 month. Therefore this "I reached
mach X" hype
will also vanish sooner or later...
But, once again, it should be no problem to create an "Overclocking
mailing list"
and to discuss topics like this there - So *please* do so, anyone who is
interested
can subscribe to this list.

Hermann
