question about which p3 to buy

[dabuddha]

im looking to upgrade my processor and want something very overclockable that'll get me over 1ghz
should i go with the p3 700 or something little faster?
what should i ask for when i call the company about their cpus
right now my p3 500 is maxed out at 685
thanks alot

700 does 933 commonly. to do 1GHz, the FSB would have to be 143. remember, try not to raise the voltage too high.

bonkers325 is selling 700@1GHz in the FS/FT forum.

how bout a p3 800
thats an 8 x multiplier
could i raise the bus speed to 133 and run it at that?
cause im currently running at 137 mhz bus speed with no problem

sounds good but p3-800's are Much more expensive than 700's..

The difference between the few mhz are hardly noticable.

(cept 1000 looks cool to show friends)
