Cracking Passwords on an Intel Celeron CPU

Yeah the original Celeron was absolutely horrible without any L2 cache and the slower bus. Once the Celeron 300A hit the scene, it became pretty respectable.

I think mostly because that thing was so easily overclockable. I remember running my dual 366A on an Abit BP6 to 550, perfectly stable on Windows XP with stock cooling.

Well, you could also put them on slot-1 cards and solder them up to do dual processor. Saving yourself a few hundred bucks in the processes. For the money they weren't that bad a deal.
