Chip/Voltage Question on Abit BH6 Rev.1

I am running a BH6 v1.01 and have flashed the BIOS to the latest version. According to Abit the board can handle 600mhz PIII now. I am currently running a celery 300a OC'd to 456mhz. I am going to replace the chip with a PIII of some flavor but here is the twist. I know that the P3 600 katmai(.25) will work fine, but I really would like to utilize the new(er) P3 700mhz Coppermine(.18). Has anyone had any luck using the coppremine over the katmai on the BH6 rev.1 regardless of mhz? If so, what voltage requirments does the coppermine have over the katmai? Thanks!
 
I am running a P3 550e @ 733 on a BH6 r1.02. The voltage for the cumine is 1.65, and the BH6 detected it fine. Been running stable for 2 days now, running RC5 24/7, playing some UT, etc.
 
It seems to be a mixed bag, some people have great luck, others instability, and others won't even post. Beware that overclocking cumines on the bh6 would be very dicey without the 1/4 PCI divider on new BX motherboards.
