I am Running a 1.8 GHZ Celeron4. Are Celerons good for overclocking and if so how high do you think I could take it.

Celeron 1.8ghz, 128k cache, 1.75 volt(default) will go 2.25 ghz with 1.825 volt.
It won't get any higher without terrible temp to deal with and the Willamette core hits a brick wall around 2.3ghz.
Good luck.

If you have an Award Bios there may be a way. I read somewhere about a dos software called ModBin. They wrote it allows you to reactivate bios options that have been disabled by the manufacturers of the board.
But it's risky because noone gives a warranty that it works after that!
