You're right.  Apologies for the mistake.

Anyone remember the Celery 300?  Most of those could successfully be
overclocked to 450 just by changing the FSB from 66 to 100 MHz.  I had
one with a Thermaltake Golden Orb cooler which was considered sh*t hot
at the time.  Bet that brings back memories for some readers ;-)

The improvement was even more marked because of the faster memory access
speed.  They were wildly popular at the time, dealers were selling
"guaranteed overclockers" at a premium price 'cos they were allegedly
supposed to have been tested.  I reckon they went straight out of the
tray into the jiffy bag.
