My old intel

[Bambi]

I have an old computer just sitting there and iwas wondering how much could i OC this old processor. Its an Intel Celeron p3 at 777 mhz. How much could i oc it without having to buy a cooling system.

777MHz? Is that already overclocked? I don't remember there ever being a 777MHz Celron - just 665, 700, 733, 766, and 800 (that I can recall...)

its probably the 766 then...remember CPU clocks are not always exact..

Those coppermine celerons topped out around 900mhz most of the time. with poor cooling i got my 566 celeron up to 901 mhz , but it wasn't 100% stable because of the odd fsb and my crappy memory, 850mhz @ 100mhz fsb was the best way for it. I highly doubt your going to hit 1100 mhz (100 mhz fsb) with it, no matter what kind of cooling you have. you might get a few more mhz out of it, but either your "friend" needs to buy a new mb cpu ect or you could mod the board (or mod a slotket) and you could try an .13 mic tualtin celeron, they have a higher fsb and cache, not to mention i've seen people oc them over 1500mhz.
