I have a BH6 m/b and am presently running a 366 o/c to 550 with the slocket adapter.
I can get a 533a Celeron OEM for about $190.00 in Vancouver but I was wondering what chances I would have overclocking it to 800. Is it a sure thing or are some chips iffy.

Well I've got a C2-533 and I'm running at 800MHz with absolutely no problems so far. I use an Alpha heatsink, though. Can't say what results you'd have with stock cooling.
I have read numerous posts by others on other internet forums about overclocking and such. I've haven't seen any C2-533 owners who haven't had success, but of course there are no guarantees in life!
But the odds are very good you'll have no problem running at 800MHz. Beyond that I wouldn't care to try because I'm a freak when it comes to stability.

Thanks Mbaxter for the words of encouragement. It's too expensive to order out of the USA for a guaranteed chip, after I pay UPS brokerage fees etc.
