Strategy

The Celeron 333A is able to scale overclocking speeds upwards of 500 MHz, with little more than a quality aftermarket cooler and a slight 0.1 to 0.2-volt bump in the core voltage rating. Otherwise, the Celeron 333A resembles the 300A in most aspects. For those with 100-MHz-capable motherboards, the 333A offers great overclocking potential and minimal effort. Overclocks in the 375 or 415 MHz range often require nothing more than increasing the front-side bus rate to 75 or 83 MHz, respectively.
