Can anyone recomend a P3 for overclocking. I am looking to buy in the 700-800 Mhz range and run at 133 Mhz FSB ang get somewhere near 1 Ghz. I have always thought the 100 Mhz chips are better overclockers, is this true?

Since I have heard so many bad things about the 800 overclocking, I am more interested in the 700 and 750. How does the stepping effect this?

I bought a p3 700e, it runs great at 933 with default voltage. But I think I got lucky on it, I've seen a lot of threads on 700's that wouldn't OC well.

My 700e also does 933mhz with default voltage. Most of them do. You would be pretty lucky to get a ghz though. Mine does 966mhz max.

Get one of the cCO stepping p3 700e processors that are floating most will guarantee 1 ghz or 1.05 ghz out of them.
