heh. At the moment, i don't seem to be able to start zMUD anymore.
I'll have to see what happens if I set the thing back to 300, but I
'spect it's something else.

Do you happen to know a particularly demanding testsuite, that's easy
to download, so I can test just _how_ solid it is? :)

Oh, and it's not running particularly cool, if not hot either.
Besides, Celeron in-a-box w/no SMP mods = 3 years guarantee. In 3
years time, this processor will probably not even be running my father
or mothers comp anymore.

Heh.. Do you get hardware cheap or something?

Don't most of the KET-type boards require the same mods as regular
celerons? I seem to remember, you need to disconnect a particular pin
from the PCB, hang it to 1.5V, and to a certain slot 1 pin..

I don't think there _are_ Socket370 333's, but I could be wrong.
AFAIK, 370 is limited to the 366 & 400 models.

That's a primo reason not to overclock, I'll agree :)
