Need week 26 Philippines PIII 700 chip information...

[JustTheRed]

Hey guys, anybody out there happen to have some information on the following chips:

FPO/Batch#: 7036A756 - 0260 SL4CH

I know they are Philippine chips manufactured in week 26 and are cBO stepping. I've checked the database on overclockers.com and saw that there are some good results. What I wanted to know was what is the "A756 - 0260" and could anyone out there relate their overclocking success/disaster regarding other chips made when these particular chips were made??? It would be of great help. Thanks.

The SL4CH is a cc0 stepping. I have 2 running at 1GHz on a VP6.

Happened to receive the chips I wrote about up top in the mail right after posting the original message. Anyhoo, I slapped the Arctic Silver on the chip, lapped my two FOP38's with Delta fans, pust some Arctic Silver on those too, and loaded those PIII700 puppies up on the VP6. Went right into BIOS, changed FSB to 133, upped the vcore to 1.75, changed my ram settings to take advantage of the PC150 ram @ 2-2-2, turned 4-way interleaving on, and saved to CMOS. Lo and behold, both booted right up. You gotta love Intel, those saps. I'll have them going at 1gig+ here in a couple of days after burn-in and some tweaking. I'm one happy camper...a dual gig SMP system for under $500. Temps are quite low...23 idle and 32 full load. Schweet!!

They are typically cooperative chips! I have a pair @ 1GHz on a VP6, and a pair of cb0 700s also at 1GHz on a VP6. The VP6 is a good, stable overclocking board.
