Looking for a 'Sure Thing' overclock, but can't find any 600/650 PIII's ...

I hear PIII 700's aren't always making it up to 933, so I am looking at the 600 and the 650, thinking that they will make it to 800 and 866 respectively. Problem is, no one seems to have them in stock, and the only ones that do have OEM chips only, no boxed processors. Doesn't anyone have 600 or 650 boxed processors?

I have seen a few guys in the fs/ft forum selling them. I got my 700 from Compuwiz1 but he is in the process of moving right now and I think Bonkers sells PIIIs also. The chip I got is an OEM but it was guarenteed to do 933 and it does at default voltage. Both these guys are great to buy from.

One more thing, you can try Atacom (or Atcom don't remember spelling) as they sell them too. That's a site not a person. :)

For the price of a 700p3, you can now buy a 900tbird, might be something to consider.

Looking for CPU's for a dual system, so AMD won't fly, thanks anyway.

Anyone else know where/how to get a hold of 600/650 boxed pIII's?
