CPU + Mobo Questions

I have an ABit BP6 Dual S370 Mobo left over from when i had dual Celeron 400's@550, my question is, can i use Celeron 633's and above with this Mobo? Is there a BIOS Update for it, if it will work, how far can i over clock Celeron 633's?

Question 1 is if they're FC-PGA or not. If you have PPGA, then your CPUs won't work.
 
Send an email out Abit's way, see what they say. I'm cheap, so I only have a single processor board...but from what I know, Cel 633s can get over a gig....if nothing else, you should be able to put it in the 900mhz area.

IF you're lucky, 900 to 1ghz. check overclockers.com for what you can get.
 
If you mobo can handle it, I say what the heck? try it out..but buy only 1 celeron for now...
