Doing some housecleaning on this post...
First, the motherboard is off of there...
P2-300 w/heatsink from retail P3 CPU (no drilling done or required) just the PCB of the CPU, to alow better cooling. The P2 PCB holds all celeron slot 1 heatsinks. The cheapest P2-300 online with no heatsink goes for over $110, I am looking for $20 less with a heatsink and a disguise as a P3 450. here is the price list:
P2-300 with P3 heatsink/fan and P3-450 back: $90
P2-300 with P3 heatsink/fan, atached to bare PCB: $85
In the disguise, only someone who themselves own and have seen their own P3-450 retail could tell the difference, except it does not do 450mhz.
Here is something for people wanting to test motherobards, it does the 150mhz FSB, as you can lower the multiplier to 2, 150 is not an overclock, and it will do 332, 166x2.
The chip does 338 (75x4.5) 100% stable at 2.7v (defauly it 2.8) on my system, so I will guarantee 338 at 2.8 on a system that does 75mhz fsb stable with other chips. It posts at 350, but does not initialize the hard drives. I have not tried over volting the CPU, so 2.9, 3.0, or 3.1 may just get you 350. Note: I do not sugjest voltages over 3.1, and I have never exposed it to anything over 2.8, the default. The CPU has never been overheated,, it has always had at minimum a heatsink with 1 fan, or a giant heatsink next to a power supply pulling heat up, and for at least 90% of its life it has had a heatsink almost Alpha size with 3 fans.
