Anyone oc a P850/100? Want to get 933/133 out of it. Is it similar to the P700/100 with respect to oc ability?

Topic explains all.
I found a P3, 850/100 and want to oc mainly the fsb to 133. I currently have a Cele 800/100 running 1066/133.
If this chip is not locked, I should be able to do the same.

well 133fsb with that chip will give you 1130MHz not 933!
really depends on the cpu's stepping as it's possible, given the right chip with a cCO stepping.
you should be able to get 977(115 fsb) out of it even if it's a cBO stepping!

I had two p-III 850's overclock well. A Cbo made it to a little over 1000mhz, the other a Cco made it to 1100mhz. Milage may vary, just up the voltage and keep some good cooling on it.

Thanks guys. I understand now why the P700 are so popular over the highers PIII's.
I much rather a 933/133 over a 1100/115.

Could be personal perception to stability or poor cooling I usually limit myself to.
