C366 and Diamond C300

Is it possible to overclock this chip on this board?

I dont think you can, or you could but its tough. I bought a c400 version for my cel300a. it automatically detects what type of CPU you have and sets the FSB automatically. The Celerons will only run at 66Mhz and the 100Mhz is reserved for PII's. There may be a way to overclock it, but there is some work involved. It is the "B21" technique. Check out www.tomshardware.com for an article on it. Sorry I dont have the exact address to it (maybe someone could help me out). basically, it involves putting a piece of teflon tape over one of the pins on the celery to "trick" the MB into thinking it is a PII therefore giving you the 100Mhz FSB allowing you to overclock it. I haven't tried this. I took my board back and got an Abit BH6. Good luck with it.

I also just ordered a BH6 with a 300a guaranteed at 450.

Thanks.
