I could be wrong Jonathan, but I don't believe the PPGA is being made anymore. When Intel descovered that the PPGA was being overclocked by changing the multiplier, they came out with the FCPGA with the locked multiplier. Nevada Jonathan Wilson wrote:

What Jonathan has said is not exactly true for the Celeron CPU's. The FCPGA (flip chip) does have a locked multiplier, but the PPGA Celeron does not and the multiplier can be changed.
Celeron's are the overclockers choice of CPU's in most cases.

True, in my rush to get out the door I forgot to mention that it's only newer chips ( <~1 year) that are clock locked. IIRC the newest Celerons are too, though, aren't they?
