It might be worth a go, but I'd recommend getting hold of some suitable
Teflon tape for voltage fiddling. It could be worth a test, but I don't
think it's likely to work without it. (some of the other CPUs in the
batch we got won't do 450MHz, either)

How are the other Celeron owners going with their SMP mods? We have a
suitable drill bit, but I'd recommend getting hold of a sharp soldering
iron, good lighting and a bench vice.
