Hello gentlemen, I bought a 700e slot1 retail about a year ago. CPUID says it's a stepping "3". I have an Asus P3B-f (which I really like) and 128meg PC150 Kingmax. Well, I have never been able to get past 805mhz (7x115) with any stability. It will not even POST at x133. So, I contacted Intel and they agreed to send me another one. So, do you guys think I would be better to send in my current processor and hope they send me a gem in return (at least would like to hit 7x133. Or should I wait till the prices come down on the 10x100 (which would be my other choice, if I decided to purchase another CPU)? Thanks.

So what did you tell them to get a new 700. I cant believe youd tell them it wont run at 133 when its rated for 100fsb.

Well, I told them that it was unstable, which was true, because it would sometimes hang even at default speed - whereas a previous 600e I had ran without such problems. That seemed to satisfy them.

Now, does anyone have a response to my question?

What do you have to loose buy having them send you a new 700 and maybe it will run better. What does that have to do witth if you get a 1g later on? Or are you saying have them send you a 1g and pay extra?

There is no such thing as a 10x100 cpu. The PIII-1000 is a 7.5x133 chip.

Actually sir, they just recently came out with 10x100 as well as the 1.13 ghz P3 (10x133). Check www.intel.com for further confirmation if you require that.
