Best pIII for overclocking...

[drowned]

...is the PIII 700, correct? I have a Tyan Trinity 371 mb(440BX chipset); any information on this motherboard with regard to overclocking pIII's would be helpful too. Thanks

Yes the cCO stepping (revision)
Boxed retail cpu's seem to be better than oem.
Consider buying a pre-tested cpu maybe.

Some places to look.
atacom.com
pcnut.com

I dont know anything about that motherboard.
Maybe look in the cpu database from the home page.

Remember getting a 700 to close to a gig will require high quality ram and very good cooling.
With cpu prices the way they are might be the same cost to just buy a 1gig p3 133 as to spend the extra on cooling and ram to try to get a 700 to a gig.
Just my opinion.
