If you are willing to modify your BP6, you may get up to, between 110 to 124Mhz FSB. This could involve voltage modifications and/or capacitor replacements. The "tall" voltage regulator capacitors around the CPU sockets.

Sorry about that...

The top end for the original Celeron's is about 600Mhz to 624Mhz.

On one of my BP6 systems, I have dual 366's O/C'd to 110Mhz FSB (~ 605Mhz for the Celeron's). The system locks up randomly. So, I will be doing some modifications (replacing voltage regulator capacitors, first) to try and stabilise the system.

What about cooling? Is it possible to stabilise your system by improving your cooling and not resorting to modifications?
Over 900Mhz sounds like Celeron II's or Pentium III's. Cooling will help some but will not address any type of voltage instability that may be present on the mainboard. Also, having a "matched pair" of Celeron's is important to achieving highest possible speed.
