I'm curious, if I wanted to buy a current version of PIII 700 for overclocking to at least 933, which would you recommend? Is there a better stepping than the cb0? Please help. I've got a Abit BH6 mb, and it will run 133 just fine, so that's the sweet spot for me. Thanks.

the fcpga's are the ones most folks have gotten to 933.Be aware that the bh6 has a 1/3 divider at 133,not a 1/4 like newer versions do.Your pci bus will be at 44.3,not 33mhz.Some sound cards,harddrives,nic's,ect dont or cant take that for long.An unstable system can result.Not to be a bummer or anything,go for it,many have run like that for ever with no prob.
