sure it's ok. by how much depends on the chip. just keep raising the FSB until it can't go any higher. I doubt you're gonna get much of an OC out of that chip if it's a socket 370 chip though. actually i have no idea how much room you've got with it. it's not really worth the effort probably. I doubt you'll get any significant increases in performance.
It all depends which celeron it is; the coppermine based celeron with 128k L2 cache or the tualatin based celeron which has 256k L2 cache. The coppermine based one won't go too much further(1200-1333 usually) but the tualatin based one should be able to go 1400-1600. You just need to up the fsb speed up slowly by steps and see what it will do. Also, watch your temps but neither series is hard to cool with a decent hsf.
Scuff, run a google search on "motherboard monitor" and you will easily find it for monitoring your temps. Also, since that is a coppermine based celeron, you won't have too much headroom for overclocking. However, if your mobo is fairly recent and supports Tualatin based P3's and Celerons, you can get the 1.1-1.3 Celerons based on the Tualatin process for around $35 and have a decent chance of getting a pretty good overclock out of it. If you happen to get a tB1 stepping Celeron, you stand to have a good chance of a 1.6-1.7 overclock for pretty cheap. If you have an older mobo that doesn't natively support the Tualatin procs, you can get an upgrade adapter at strattoncomputers, but I don't know what the price on the adapters are.

Is this one the most or least improvable. It is a socket 370
Everyone else - relax, I know him personally.
The BIOS has steps for 124, 133, and more above that, but since the computer has PC133 memory, I doubt it'll go any higher than 133.
