I was considering getting a P3 700 but not sure if should take chance and get one from vender or buy one allready overclocked. What the % of these chips that are overclockable to 933 at least?? anyone know?
 
there's some forsale in the forsale/trade forum that do 933+. Why take the chance. some say the current chips are being sorted more carefully, and some people have complained about only getting like 868 mghz. Why take a chance to save $20-30. I guess it depends on your money status. If you got a few extra bucks, buy one guaranteed to run at that speed. I just paid a few bucks extra to get a duron guaranteed at 950. I don't have to whine on this forum about my poor chip only making 900 or 850 only. The extra few dollars was worth the nicety of just slapping the chip in, booting up and running rock solid. Crashing cpu's suck, may your life more stressful and generally waste your time. An hour or two of my time, and the dissatisfaction of getting a chip that doesn't quite meet your expectations just doesn't justify saving $20-$30. Does yours?

thats really the question.
 
Most of the recent ones will. I'd say about 70% of cB0 stepping P3 700s will get there with 100% stability. cA2 stepping, however, is more tricky and less likely. However, you have a good chance of getting it. Just make sure you get proper cooling and a cB0 chip. 🙂 cA2's have gotten there, but not 70% or so of them. 😉
