P3 Overclocking

[friedchickenbutt]

What speed and stepping of Pentium 3 overclock the best. I'm planning to purchase an Asus CUSL2-C Black Pearl and match it with some Corsair PC150 CAS2.

...Or should I wait for the Tualatin and pair it with a TUSL2-C?

I have a cD0 1ghz I am running at 1.2ghz it might go more but I have not tried yet.
If you can wait a month or two the tualatins should be more available
but the price may be high.
You can get a 1.133 512k Tualatin with a supermicro motherboard for $535.00 but the board is not good for overclocking.

I'm expecting Tualatin prices to be about the same price as current P3's. If Tualatin's don't come out by mid-August, then I guess I will be forced to purchase a standard P3.

By the way...

Jennifer- What motherboard are you using? Also, what FSB/Multiplier are you running at?

I have a abit vh6t running 160fsb right now but I have a gigabyte ga-60xet in route.
I have my doubts about the vh6t's ability to run a tualatin so I am going to eBay it so I can move to a tualatin around christmas time.

160 FSB huh?... That's pretty good... I hope the PC150 I'm gonna get will do that or better
