Is the P3 Coppermine locked?

[KhoiFather]

I'm wondering is the multiplier locked and if it is, I won't bother trying to overclock a P3 700MHz socket 370. cpu.

Yes, its locked. Many people including myself, have overclocked PIII 700s to 933 by using a 133 MHz FSB.

yea its locked
try overclocking it anywas,

it might need quite a bit of vcore, but ifyou have a good cooler its ok

I see, I'll try it then let you guys know what happens. Last time I tried overclocking a Celeron 667MHz, and raised the FSB to 100MHz, but no boot.

thats why you should maybe max otu vcore and vio if possible to begin with

if it doesnt boot, clear cmos and what not
...what kinda ram you have?
