I have a PIII 600eb and someone told me the chip is the exact same as the 800 chip and I could clock mine to 800. I know intel locks their ratios and sure enough when I set the ratio to 6 with jumpers on the mobo it still came up as a 600. Is there anyway to do this or was he just b/s ing me? Yeah and it is a Tyan Trinity 400 mobo.

 
The chips are physically the same. Its just the clock speed intel sets them at.

The bin there chips meaning that they test batches of chips for there MHz. A 600EB is already on the 133 Mhz fsb so overclocking that is going to be very hard.

I currently have a 650E @ 897 Mhz. So no your friend wasn't bsing you completely he just wasn't that informative.
 
umm... no, an 800EB would be the same multiplier as a 600E.

A 600EB has a multiplier of 4, so 4x100 would make it a 400mhz chip.

I think you're talking about the 600E, not EB. With 600E, you just change your front side bus to 133MHz, and there you go, same as 800EB.
 
ii have an p3 800eb. multipler is 6x133 could someone tell me the highest possible speed it could be clocked to.? thanks

Depends on your mobo, memory, chip, cards, etc. In other words, no one knows for sure until you actually try it.
