your right the 133mhz fsb are crap for overclocking as if your luck you will get upto 150mhz fsb but on avergae people only get about 140mhz becasue of things like graphics cards and hard drives, you best bet is the 700mhz, 100mhzfsb as these commonly do 933mhz on a 133mhz bus and normally do about 1000mhz quite easily.

i would suggest a P3 700 w/ 100 FSB. Although i have an 850 myself but you would get the most out of that one. But you might also want to check out the database and see what other people got to see what you might be able to get.
