How far can I push my Intel P-III 800??

I just bought a P-III 800EB CPU, and I'm running it on a BX platform. I figured, since Im overclocking the BUS, I might as well overclock the CPU too. But I really want it to remain STABLE.... like 100% stable. How fast should I push it so that it remains reliable?

Thanks!
 
Would help to know what kind of SDRAM you are using, as it will likely be your limiting factor.

With only a 6X multiplier on an 800EB, you're probably going to get no higher than 900, and that's only with mongo SDRAM capable of 150 bus speed. That's at the extreme. Rock stable will probably be somewhere between 140-145, and only with excellent cooling (as you will likely have the core voltage upped significantly).
