Overclocking P3-500 --> P3-800

[Guest]

Rumors say that some P3-500 actually are P3-800. How can I find out that my P3-500 is a P3-800?

ovrclock it a step at a time until it wont run then try to up the voltage to get it to run stable
it is really a hit and miss on overclocking because two identicle systems can perform dramatically different when overclocked

yesterday i upped the fsb to 148 and got 814 stable with default 1.65v (played q3 ran sandra sisoft etc)all this is being done with the standard hsf
