SOME Intel parts are clock-locked and some are not. Check with Intel for the latest scoop... >> The 300A has better overclock ability than the 333. See Tom's hardware >> page regarding that.

I like to stick with the best price/performance ratios, and currently that's between Celeron WITH cache and AMD K6-2. Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
