      Not much “stepping” to it. Just set the motherboard jumpers (or CMOS) as if the processor were faster than 266Mhz. Usually, the increments are in .5x (.5 times 66Mhz). If it is set correctly now, the “multiplier” will be set at 4x. Set the multiplier to 4.5x and see if all is well. If it goes, try a higher setting. When you reach a point that it doesn’t work, try slowing down the access memory in CMOS. This requires increasing the numbers related to memory access since those numbers are related to time. I never do this because I think it tends to defeat the purpose of overclocking — INCREASING performance.

      If my info is correct, it isn’t that easy to overclock celerons, they are hardware wired to prevent that. I’ve something like you’ll have to do some soldering to get it to run at a higher speed.

      1. Goto http://www.TomsHardware.com, this site is great for anytype of hardware fidling.
      2. To make sure that you don’t completely melt yer CPU, there is some sodering to be done. The site above has a very detailed explination on how to do it right.
      3. The Bios setting is half of it. Check your motherboard Docs for jumper settings to change MB acceptance speed.
      4. After all is said and done: add more fans, check the CPU temp often, and check the RAM temp often. There are issues with memory management on some 66mhz MBs and running overclocked CPUs, the Mem manager gets flooded and will fry causing major data corruption.
      5. Good luck… you’ll need it

      Intel started disabling support for other multipliers on there processors, without changing the chip itself you can can overlock it by upping the motherboard’s FSB (Front Side Bus) speed assuming your motherboard supporrts higher then 66mhz. Your processor would normally use 66fsb with a multiplier of 4. If your motherboard supports it, you can change the fsb speed to 75 which would be 300mhz for example. Take a look at:

      I see that u can to do this, cause as u said u have OLD celeron. In new celerons Intel disabled overclocking feature (but it’s craked already).
      Overclock urs one by BIOS setup (if support) and if not – by jumpers at MB. After all of it e-mail me toget cooling program RAIN (FREE i mean) – install it and that’s all. RAIN – program that closing unused trheads of CPU (it like software cooling).

      Bye. IT WILL WORK.

      I overclocked my Celery stick successfully, but was using an ABIT motherboard, one which has no physical jumpers. All settings are done via a “soft jumper” software program. If you want to experiment, I suggest spending just under $100 and gpurchasing one of the jumperless Abit MB’s. Just a quick note – make small changes, and if frequent lockups/crashes are experienced, back off….

      Please take a look at http://www.bxboards.com for full overclocking information. The cleron 266 is not a good chip to overclock. It can be done but the success rate is limited and besides….cache.

      Just set stepping to 5 instead of 4 set for 266 Mhz if your mainboard supports higher stepping values then try higher than 5.
      I had experience in overclocking 300 Mhz Celeron w/o cache to 400 🙂 it were great and worked ok, w/o any problems 🙂 Now I hawe Cel 300A overclocket to 450 Mhz, but in this case i changet bus rate from 66 Mhz to 100 🙂
