The Celeron 300A was good for another 150mhz. But the Athlon mobile Barton chips were awesome too.
The Core 2 Duo 6400 could go from 2.7 to 4.4 albeit it flaked out after a few months.

Which CPU do you hold dear in your heart for all the tinkering fun it gave you?
 
Back then you got the online clout for buying the cheapest and overclocking it. Both CPU and GPU. These days it seems you get the clout for buying the most expensive.
 
Even with chips sets on motherboards these days there is nothing in it between lower tiers and the premium as the north bridge has been done away with.
