Best overclocking P3 to 1Ghz; opinions and results?

[Serpico74]

Yeah yeah, I know this question never gets asked...

I've ordered a new mobo, high quality ram, parts, etc etc. All I need to order now is an Intel CPU.

I want to hit a gigahertz in speed, but if I can save some cash in the process I'm open to overclocking.

From what I've read so far it seems like the P3-700 and 750s are the safest bets (not with 100% success of course)

How've you guys done?

800Mhz PIII isn't bad either.

For myself it took water cooling to get my 700E to 1001mhz using a Abit BF6 motherboard. Wouldn't have done it without water cooling was getting to hot

Got my FCPGA P3 650 at 1021MHz with 1.85V without supercooling. Just a Hedgehog copper heatsink. I got REALLY lucky with this CPU. My older slot 1 650 cB0 wouldn't get past 910MHz on my Asus P3V4X.

800E is great. I got one that made it to 1006 and 1066 with 1.75V. Might need very good cooling though. It does not matter OEM or retail though.

mine hit 1001 without any trouble.

goto overclockers cpu database and enter the info--it's pretty self explanatory

intel cpu's usualy make around 950 easily 1ghz is another story people who get 1 ghz are lucky or the have supercooling.
