The best P3?

[topweb99]

What would you say the best p3 to over clock is?..i have a soyo tek bv6a-133 motherboard( will hold a up to a p3 1000+} 256 megs of ram radeon 32 ddr vid card,soundblaster x gamer card..I am running a 566 flip chip o'ced to little over 900 with a golden orb fan,i'm getting bottle necking in some game(ut quake 3...)i was told that my cel 566 needed to be upgraded so i guess it time for a p3

I wouldn't uprgade from an overclocked celeron to a p3, if you are going to the effort and expense of an uprgade go for a duron 700-800 system which you should be able to get to 1ghz+

but if you are intent on intel then the p3 700 100mhz fsb is the best, should go to 933 with little effort and quite possibly 1ghz or so

I would like to go with a duron...but i would have to a new motherboard plus a chip,and maybe a new case...so for now i'll stay with a p3

Most people seem to be having great luck with the P3 700e chips, I personally run a P3 800, but thats a whole different ave. of discussion there.

you cant really ask the guy to go duron
because he'd have to buy a whole new mobo

Slot one 700e...best bang for the buck...and I stay away from cellies..not enough cache, same reason to avoid the Duron
