Just for the geekyness, If you want to OC a Celeron 366, try a mainboard speed
of 92 to 95 Mhz and a PCI devider of 3 and put the Voltage to 2.10.
This requires you to keep of the lid of your case and to keep ambient temp to <
20 degrees celcius.(with standard coolers) The trick is to keep your procs < ~45
degree celcius, heavy processor intensive jobs might still put the temp to
above 50 degrees celcius and spoil the game..
Not OC-ed Celerons can go up to as high as 80 degree celcius before cracking
down.

I second that as well, the numerous APIC crc-errors you get during heavy IO
(eg. PIO mode hd data transfers), show that OC-ing is absolutely not wise to do
for such systems. Also everyone knows that ambient temp can easily pass
sub-tropical temperatures in a server environment...
To be short: don't ever ever OC any processor in a true working environment!
