Best choice for P3 overclocking?

I am replacing my P3 on ASUS CUV4X board. QUESTION -- can the P3 1000E be overclocked to 1330MHZ? Can the P3 800E be overclocked to 1064MHZ? Or should I just buy the 600E and be happy with 800MHz? Thanks for the advice.

Or you could get a 1ghztbird and a sis735 motherboard for slightly more than the p3 alone and have a kickass system. ;-)

Thanks for the advice. But actually $92 is for a socket 1 P3 700E, but I need an FCPGA which is $109 on pricewatch. But I am open to change (in the form of AMD) -- the 1GHZ Tbird and sis735 board would total $134 -- worth considering.

Hey, anything's better than VIA, the SiS is actually a fairly good chipset, it performs very well and has had no problems reported to my knowlege. I only encourage people to keep their old system if it has an Intel chipset and they are thinking changing to VIA, or if they don't have the time or desire to reload their hard drive.

Back to you Tom...

The reason I am upgrading is that I halfway burned my PIII 600. I was running it @810 no problem for about a year, but couldn't boot if I increased the FSB past 135. So one night I started increasing the Vcore and got a little carried away -- now it won't boot past 408 MHz @68 FSB, period. Oops.

When I built my system June 2000 the only Intel 133 chipset was the Intel i820 I think, which was supposed to be very poor for DRAM (and there was the whole Rambus debate...) I can't remember if the i810 was around, but the i815 was on it's way. They were saying OCing the old BX chipset to 133 would cause problems with PCI bus -- so I heard Via was the way to go for 133 FSB -- why do you not like the Via chipset? Just curious.

Anyway, if I went with the Tbird and new board, I have enough components lying around to build a second system if I bought a cheap ATX case for my old P3. What about memory for the Tbird?

Thanks for the help!

Via motherboards have history of instability, on athlons. I myself run kt7a raid which has all the via things which should cause me problems(and a sb live too!@) but I have never had any. The sis735 mobos are dirt cheap and give great performance, the via chipped boards generally costa little more for less performance(but depending on the brand alot of tweak options w00t).

You can't change the multiplier on an Intel.
