Can I overclock a Pentium 3 processor?

[AshutoshM]

Hello! I have an old Pentium 3 computer. You can find it's specs
here: http://www.hotshare.net/en/image/355916-2555150153.html

My question is can I overclock it upto 1 Ghz without investing on cooling or I need some cooling devices to
overclock it. Will it reduce it's life also?

Overclocking always reduces the life of the CPU. You may be able to overclock it fine with the stock cooler, but it may not be good enough. Try it, but watch the temperature.

Very dangerous with your spec. Your temperature can up too because your cooler cannot drop temp quickly. And think default system and little oc not significant speed. Just keep default. Better for your system add ram size.
