Im building a new computer for my friend and i was wondering if the success rate of overclocking a p3 800E cb0 to 8*133fsb is high? im planning on using a hedgehog and an asus cusl2 and pc133 ram. Is it very likely for the cpu to handle even with its high multiplier?

I tried to get a look at the overclockers.com database earlier, but the site was down. That's a good question. Typically, the higher the multiplier, the worse your chances are. The 700E has been the sweetspot for 933-1GHz, but out of curiosity, I was able to order a handful of 800E cC0 stepping. In the 700E the cC0 (at least the ones I got last) did some amazing things. I had a couple of those do 1100MHz and several do 1050. So, later today, I will begin testing some 800E's. I hope to even see a couple at over 1100. :)
