This might sound dumb...

OK, I hear a lot about overclocking 700 p3... But my local reseller has only p3 733-133 in stock... What is the real difference between de the (except for the 100-133 bus speed diff.). Is one better than the other for OC??? Is one better than the other in any case???
I also currently have a p3-450/asus P3B-f combo... Can I keep my mobo or am I better swtiching, say to and ASUS CUSL (is it worth the price???).
Finally, whenever I try to OC with my current card, I always get system hangs... I am doing something wrong??
Thanks!!!

Save your money, I have a P3B-F with a Pentium III 600b @ 133mhz set through the jumperless option. You could sell the P3 450 and get yourself a P3 700 or 800 in slot 1 format, then flash your motherboards BIOS with the newest BIOS revision. The P3 700 has seperate versions. One has cC0 stepping and one has cB0 stepping. Apparently the cC0 stepping is the better for overclocking than the cB0. As I'm not a very big overclocker, I cannot be sure of the highest setting for the latter chip, but can point you in the right direction if you want to learn more about this subject.
