PIII 800E or PIII 800EB...Whats the Diff?

[wnied]

Could someone explain to me, exactly what the difference between the two processors are? I'm a hardcore gamer and want to replace my P3B-F & PIII 600B with a CUSL2 & PIII 800. Just dont know which CPU would be best.

Thanks in advance.

800E = 100 MHz FSB, 8.0x multiplier
800EB = 133 MHz FSB, 6.0x multiplier

The 800EB will be faster at stock speed than the 800E, but the 800E will overclock better without using insanely high FSB's.

Thanks Viper. It's going to run at stock speed. I got my OCing ya yas out already with the old celeron 366s.

Thanks again.
