i have one that goes to 672 but thats alot for the cache that was only rated for 300mhz - 1/2 core speed. those chips were never meant to be ran faster than 600 but 666 is possible try 133x5 @ 2.2v
 
I'm running p3 500 at 620 and seems stable now .. temp at 33 without extra cooler .. mopbo is aopen ax6bc pro
 
The most I ever got out of my 500 Katmai was also 620MHz. Just like the Athlons, I bet a good portion of these have faster cache than the rest. If you can get 800mhz out of a 500 Katmai, bless your hands!
