I know that overclocking can cause those problems, though it might not.
Think about it, if you drive your brand new camaro at 100mph every time you
drive it, it will be breaking down within a few years.  But if you always
run it at a leasurely 35mph, it will last much longer.
I agree with you about the 450mhz applications.  No games are made for it I
think, they want as many people to spend their money on it as they can.  You
could get a killer game of unreal though!  Its like how most games are still
being based on teh voodoo2 chipset though more advanced technologies are
available.

Well if it burnt out and someone took it back and said "I overclocked 
this and it doesn't work anymore", then they'd pretty much deserve all 
they get for being so stupid.

SHOP: Have you overclocked this ?
CUSTOMER: No

If you can prove a chip has been overclocked then you a better man than 
anyone else.

You under the wrong impression then  :)  With a Celeron266 running at 
400MHz, I haven't come across a game that I cannot run at 1024x768 (even 
Unreal), but it struggles at the default speed. If you just want to play 
in 640x480 all the time, then fair enough, that's your choice.

Oh, and I paid �60 for it, that's more than just a few quid saving over 
the 'real' chips. If it burns out, so what, I can buy about 4-6 before it 
cost's as much as a high end P2...

Yes, much better than dollars.

It could shorten the life of the chip but maybe not. A Celeron 300a costs
less than $100 and it runs as fast as a p2 450 which is about $500.

I got one and I'd reccomend it.
