Wire Trick!
<i>Hope you know that overclocking voids any warranty youhave with your CPU.</i>
What is it . . .
In brief to perform the wire trick is to connect 3 specific pins on the celeron with copper wiring - to fool the motherboard into thinking it is a pentium 3, thus you can increase core voltage and give the celery a bit more juice. As you fool the mobo into thinking your CPU is a P3, you also get access to the multipliers - in which you can overclock the CPU without having to overclock the bus speeds (at all or much).
and, why should you need to do it (when overclocking)
When overclocking a celeron without the wiretrick - you are basically forcing up the bus speed, memory speed (you can do this in (some) motherboard settings) - in which case can affect all devices connected to the motherboard, pci cards, HDD, AGP, etc - some dont work wth overclocked bus speeds. You can only force the bus speed up so much without affecting the other deives. In which case you cant overclock the celery to more than a couple hundred mhz.

so to o'clock a celeron 600 to over 1Ghz - you have to perform the wiretrick, how far over 1Ghz will depend ing the release date of the celerons as they used different steppings.

I forgot to add you can only perform the wire trick on socket 370 celerys
